Dream Girl
Eric Ethridge Lyrics

I don't wanna fall asleep baby
I don't want to let go of the memories we shared, my love.

I don't even wanna close my eyes
I want to keep picturing you in my mind and hold onto the feeling.

'Cause I'll been seein' you baby
Because every time I close my eyes, I see your beautiful face.

Yeah, it looks a little worse every time
But each time, it becomes harder to bear the pain of your absence.

I toss and turn and check my phone
Restless and anxious, I constantly hope for a message from you.

Anything to keep you gone
Anything to distract myself and forget about you, though it's impossible.

Out of my head, out of my mind
I desperately try to push you out of my thoughts and memories.

Out of my bed tonight
And out of my dreams that haunt me in the night.

'Cause you were my dream girl
Because you were once the embodiment of my dreams and desires.

Everything embodied in me girl
You were everything I wanted, a perfect match to my soul.

Why'd you have to walk away and leave, girl?
Why did you choose to leave and abandon our once beautiful connection?

Oh
Expressing the pain and longing I feel for you.

We used to be all night
We used to spend endless nights together.

Kissing under covers, you were all mine
Intimate moments shared intimately, feeling like you belonged to me.

Everything was good until you said goodbye to me
Everything seemed perfect until you uttered those heart-wrenching words of farewell.

Oh, now you're nothing but a dream, girl
Now, all that remains is an ephemeral image of you in my mind.

Splashin' water on my face, maybe
I try to awaken myself from this dream-like state by splashing water on my face.

That will keep me up a little bit longer
Hoping that it will delay the moment when I finally have to let you go.

By the way, I think I'm going crazy
In the midst of this overwhelming heartbreak, I feel like I'm losing my sanity.

It's getting me and I ain't getting any stronger
The pain is consuming me, and with each passing day, I feel weaker.

You make up stuff to pillowcase
When I lay on my pillow, I imagine conversations and scenarios with you.

But girl, you know I can't erase
But deep down, you understand that I cannot erase you from my heart.

You outta my head, outta my mind
I long to remove you from my thoughts and free my mind from your memory.

Outta my bed tonight
And out of my dreams that hinder my ability to move on.

Dream girl
You were the girl of my dreams, my perfect fantasy.

Ohh, why'd you have to walk away?
Ohh, why did you have to leave and shatter my hopes and dreams?

Now you're nothing but a dream, girl
Now, all that remains is a distant figure in my dreams, unreachable.

Dream girl
Dream girl, you were the embodiment of all my desires and aspirations.

Dream girl
Once, you were the girl who made my dreams come true.
