Dear, it seems years since we parted
Years full of tears and regret
I've been alone, brokenhearted
Trying so hard to forget
Girl of my dreams, I love you
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
Please come back again
And after all's said and done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you
It's strange how life deals you sorrow
Sunshine and joy always nigh
We live and learn for tomorrow
But sometimes the learning comes high
Girl of my dreams, I love you
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
Please come back again
And after all's said and done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you
