Dream
DeBarge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
A dream
Hold me
Love me
With all your heart
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
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

Well that's not true. Most of switch songs that came out people thought that it was The Debarge..

I disagree. El De Barge is known still in "The Industry" as one of the greatest Writer, Musician , Performers to have existed, right up there with the biggest he struts. They had 6 top 100 songs on Billboard. From 86' to 91' they were the hottest thing out there. He had chart topping hits for 27 years. How many can say that?🤔 A selected few , of which he was and still is relevant , to us that is. He's STILL writing and producing today, collaborating with some younger singers in their own songs. " Lay With You" , " You Wear it Well" and "Love Always" , were some of the last on the chart as #1's . How's that for not enough credit? Plus , he had 5 Grammy nominations. 😛🤗He and his family recorded with Motown, Innerscope, Geffen and Warrner Bros . Please be 🤫 and enjoy the music. 🤫🤥😫😊😉
