A Dream Lyrics
El Debarge
Lyrics
Last night I dreamed
That you were here with me
And we were in each others arms
It was oh so heavenly
You held me close to you
And whispered in my ear
"Let's build a life together"
Sharing love beyond compare
As we danced to the melody
We had so much to share
Then the music stopped
In a flash I was all alone
It was just a dream
Haunting me once again
A dream, a simple fantasy
That I wished was reality
That you come knocking at my door
And we relive this dream once more
The day you left
You said you would return
Just when you wouldn't promise
Said you needed time alone
You said you loved me
And some day our love could be
I couldn't understand it
I thought that we were both happy
As we danced to the melody
We had so much to share
Then the music stopped
In a flash I was all alone
It was just a dream
Haunting me once again
A simple fantasy that I...
Oh, oh that you...
And we'd...
Oh.oh. a dream babe
It's just a fantasy that I
That you'd come knocking at my door
Oh and we
Relive this dream once more
A Dream...
Hold me
Love me
With all your heart
Oohh come back
Please make my dream
Come true for me
I need so much for you to see
I need you to love me once again
Oh, oh, oh, oh babe aahh
Come knocking at my door
And we'd...
A dream, a simple fantasy,
That I wished was reality oh babe
