Girl of My Dreams
Steve Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honest I do, you are so sweet
If I could just hold your charms
Again in my arms
Then, life would be complete!
Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!
Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!
And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!
The song “Girl of My Dreams” by Steve Lawrence is a classic love song about a man expressing his love and longing for a woman he considers the girl of his dreams. The lyrics illustrate the depth of the man’s love for this woman, describing her as sweet and charming. He longs to hold her in his arms again, stating that his life would be complete if he could do so.
However, since she has been gone, his life has lost its luster and joy. He longs for her to come back to him, and he pleads with her to do so. Despite all of his experiences in life, there is only one woman he considers to be the girl of his dreams, and that woman is the one he loves.
