"I've Dreamed of You" is a romantic ballad composed by Norwegian composer Rolf Løvland. The song was written in 1996 and was first performed by American singer Barbra Streisand at her wedding to actor James Brolin in 1998. The song was later included in Streisand's album "A Love Like Ours" in 1999. The song is a slow, sentimental ballad that showcases Løvland's signature style of lush, sweeping melodies and emotional chord progressions. The song is written in the key of C major and features a simple, yet elegant piano accompaniment that supports the soaring vocal melody. "I've Dreamed of You" is divided into two distinct sections, each with its own unique melody and lyrics. The first section is a gentle, introspective verse that sets the mood for the song. The lyrics describe the feeling of longing and anticipation that comes with waiting for the perfect partner to come into one's life. The second section of the song is a powerful, soaring chorus that expresses the joy and fulfillment of finally finding that special someone. The lyrics are filled with romantic imagery and metaphors, such as "I've dreamed of you so much, you'll know just what to say" and "I've dreamed of you for so many nights, waited for your love, waited for my life." Overall, "I've Dreamed of You" is a beautiful and heartfelt love song that showcases Løvland's talent for crafting emotional and memorable melodies. The song has become a popular choice for weddings and romantic occasions, and continues to be a beloved classic in the repertoire of both Barbra Streisand and Rolf Løvland.
