Put Your Dreams Away
Barry Manilow · Other Songs - Barry Manilow
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night fade before you
Then I'll have the right to adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
Put Your Dreams Away
Barry Manilow's 'Put Your Dreams Away' stands as a poignant example of his mid-1970s pop balladry, blending lush orchestration with his signature tenor. Released during a period where he balanced commercial hits with more introspective compositions, the track exemplifies the romantic vulnerability characteristic of his discography. While often associated with his broader catalog of romantic standards, this recording captures a specific emotional tone that aligns with the era's soft-rock and adult contemporary influences. The song reflects Manilow's ability to craft melodies that resonate with themes of longing and the complexities of relationships, fitting seamlessly into the landscape of 1970s American pop music.
