/ˈnevə(r) hæd ə driːm kʌm truː/
该短语字面直译为“从未有过梦想成真的经历”，表达梦想未能实现的遗憾或失落感。在语境中常用来抒发对未竟心愿的感慨，或在特定条件下（如遇到某人/某事）才首次体验梦想实现的喜悦。例如歌曲中“I never had a dream come true till the day I found you”（直到遇见你，我才梦想成真），体现了从遗憾到圆满的情感转变。
这是一个部分倒装句，由否定词“Never”引导，将助动词“had”提前，正常语序应为“I had never a dream come true”。
“come true”为固定搭配，意为“实现”，在句中作宾语“dream”的补足语，因此动词“come”无需第三人称单数变化。该搭配无被动形式，需用主动语态表达被动含义，如“My dream came true”（我的梦想实现了）。
表达遗憾：描述长期未能实现梦想的状态，如“I never had a dream come true in my school years”（我的学生时代从未实现过任何梦想）。
转折强调：通过“till/until”引出梦想实现的契机，如“Never had a dream come true till I got this job”（直到得到这份工作，我才实现了梦想）。
Everybody's got something they had to leave behind, one regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time. I never had a dream come true till the day I found you.
（每个人都有不得不舍弃的东西，昨日的遗憾随时间愈发沉重。直到遇见你，我才梦想成真。）

till/until + 从句：表示“直到……才”，用于引出梦想实现的转折点，如“never had a dream come true till the day I found you”。
