A Dream Lyrics by DeBarge

Time Will Reveal: The Complete Motown Albums

1983

[Verse 1]
Last night, I dreamed that you were here with me
And we were in each other's 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"

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
A dream, a simple fantasy
That I wished was reality
That you'd, come knocking at my door
And we'd relive this dream once more

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
A dream, a simple fantasy (A simple fantasy that I)
That I wished was reality (Oh, oh, that you, ooh)
That you'd, come knocking at my door (And we'd)
And we'd, relive this dream once more (Oh, a dream, baby)
A dream, a simple fantasy (It's just a fantasy that I)
That I wished was reality (That you'd come knocking at my door)
That you'd come knocking at my door (Oh, and we'd) And we'd relive this dream once more
A dream

[Bridge]
Hold me, love me
With all your heart
Oh, oh
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
