昨夜梦魂中

The speaker wakes from a dream and realizes that the person they love is gone. The loss brings sadness and loneliness, but they try to hide their feelings behind a bitter smile. As the song continues, their love remains strong even though they accept that the other person may not return. The ending mixes lasting affection with a painful decision to act like a stranger if they meet again.

The cold wind by the window helps create a feeling of emptiness, while the dream briefly brings the loved one close before taking their image away. “A bitter smile” suggests that the speaker is pretending to be fine, even while feeling hurt. Their wish for the other person to find “real warmth” is a gentle way of saying they hope the person will be happy, even without them.

The repeated question “Why I love you” may show confusion about a love that continues despite separation, rather than asking for a practical answer. The promise not to love anyone else sounds absolute, but it may express how intense the speaker’s grief feels in that moment, not a certain plan for the rest of life. Their blessing and imagined distance can be read as both generosity and self-protection: they let the other person go, but cannot easily let go of their feelings.
