The contrast between sunny skies and shadows of loneliness in the lyrics underscores a painful irony—the brightness of memory tarnished by sorrow. This duality amplifies the song's melancholic tone, blending the simplicity of Rodgers’ original with U2’s distinct emotional intensity.
As Bono sings of sunshine fading into sorrow, he captures the gut-wrenching isolation of heartbreak, rendering “Dreaming with Tears in My Eyes” an evocative tribute to enduring sadness and the haunting echoes of love lost.
I cared for you more then you knew
Though you have broken each promise
And yesterday's dreams are untrue
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As I dream of the love we once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes
Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone
Yesterday's sunshine is faded
Your love wasn't true like my own
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As I dream of the love we once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows of loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes
'Dreaming With Tears In My Eyes' Song Lyrics by U2
My heart is longing for you, loveI cared for you more then you knew
Though you have broken each promise
And yesterday's dreams are untrue
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As I dream of the love we once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes
Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone
Yesterday's sunshine is faded
Your love wasn't true like my own
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As I dream of the love we once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows of loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes
