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 Share 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, of simple fantasy That I, wished was reality That you'd, come knocking at my door And we'd, 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 Someday our love could be I couldn't understand it I thought 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 dream, of simple fantasy That I, wished was reality That you'd, come knocking at my door And we'd, relive this dream once more A dream, of simple fantasy That I, wished was reality That you'd, come knocking at my door And we'd, relive this dream once more Hold me Love me With all your heart Ohh 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 A dream, of simple fantasy That I, wished was reality That you'd, come knocking at my door And we'd, relive this dream once more
