The Girl of My Dreams

Tonight I met the girl of my dreams
Tonight I met the girl of my dreams
It's 4 o'clock in the morning, I want to sleep
Got a secret inside I don't want to keep
It's all about an incredible girl I met
A dozen hours ago, I don't believe it yet
The Duke of Earl wasn't lucky enough to meet
Such a beautiful girl on a crowded street
I didn't notice we both were nearly running
I knocked her down, I didn't see her coming

She lay there laughing and I was so embarrassed
I could have bought a one way trip to Paris
I helped her up, it seemed she couldn't care less
I asked her out for dinner and she said yessssss!
You could have knocked me over with a feather
We spent until midnight together
Don't want to live another minute without her
I want to shout to the whole world about her

Tonight I met the girl of my dreams
Tonight I met the girl of my dreams
I might forget what loneliness means
Tonight I met the girl of my dreams

Impossible dreams sometimes come true
If it can happen to me it can happen to you
I never met a girl as sweet and clever
She talked as if she had known me forever
I didn't want the fantasy to end
I believed I was meeting my best friend
I'm not certain that I'll ever recover
I always dreamed that a friend could be a lover
Don't want to live another minute without her
I want to shout to the whole world about her

Tonight I met the girl of my dreams
Tonight I met the girl of my dreams
I might forget what loneliness means
Tonight I met the girl of my dreams

Peter Cross is the songwriter, the lead singer and he also sings all the harmony tracks, plus he's the arranger and the producer.

Commentary:

The inspiration for this song came from the Second Chance Divorce Group I was attending in 1995. Another pathetic victim in the group who was suffering through divorce had become fixated on finding a replacement girl of his dreams. Every time we went out to bars together he would say to me, "Peter, I can just feel it, tonight I'm gonna meet the girl of my dreams." I thought to myself, this is really what every man is looking for, isn't it? A best friend who is also a best lover - that's the kind of girl you marry. Theoretically, anyway. In reality, I sang 14 vocal harmony tracks to create this Girl of My Dreams, so including the doubled lead vocal tracks, that makes 16 vocal tracks altogether. This is more than bit of a vocal extravaganza for one singer and this is where the many Peter Crosses singing together got humorously named "The Crossants" (by me).
