"Daydream" is a song recorded in 1969 by the Belgian band Wallace Collection. It was composed by band members Sylvain Vanholme and Raymond Vincent, with David MacKay who also produced the single. The song is in the symphonic pop/rock genre, and uses strings and flutes. The song was a hit in mainland Europe, though popularity didn't make it to English speaking countries, despite its use of English lyrics. The song was covered several times, most notably by the Gunter Kallmann Orchestra in 1970.
The song takes its melody from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet.[3] It also uses the second theme from the second movement of Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No. 1.
Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers
For a couple of hours on a beautiful day
Daydream, I dreamed of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours, such a beautiful day!
I dreamed of the places I've been with you
How we sat with the stream flowing by
And then when I kissed you and held you
So near tell me why, tell me why you're so shy?
Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers
For a couple of hours on a beautiful day
Daydream, come share a dream amid the flowers
For a couple of hours on a beautiful day
I dreamed of the places I've been with you
How we sat with the stream flowing by
And then when I kissed you and held you so near
Tell me why, tell me why you're so shy?
Daydream, I sing with you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours, singing all of the day
