Do I Dream (or Do I Dream?, on the Eurovision official website) was the Irish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 in Luxembourg performed by Maxi.
The song is sung from the perspective of a young woman whose lover has just confessed his feelings for her. She asks him whether or not she is dreaming when she thinks of the wonderful future they will have together.
The song was performed 14th on the night following the Netherlands and preceding the United Kingdom. At the close of voting, it finished in 10th place with 80 points.

Does the sun dance on the river?
Does it sparkle? Does it quiver? Do I dream?
Are the mountains blue and hazy
Or am I a little crazy? Do I dream?
My darling, tell me, do your arms enfold me?
Did you say you love me only?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Has this cloud a silver lining?
Will the sun be always shining?
Darling, do I dream?
Are we walking through the heather?
Are we holding hands together? Do I dream?
Are there many coloured flowers?
Have we loved away the hours? Do I dream?
My darling, if I’m dreaming, do not wake me
Never let my dream forsake me
I love you and that is not a dream
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Is the moon a little brighter?
Are my footsteps feeling lighter? Do I dream?
Are there lucky stars above me?
Tell me once again you love me, do I dream?
My darling, are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
Are we walking close together?
Could we stay like this forever?
Is it true, or am I in a dream?
Will this love go on forever?
Could we share our life together?
Do I dream? Do I dream? Do I dream?
