Lyrics:

(Van Morrison)



Only a dream

That I had in the night

Only a dream

But It felt so right



We were standing in the moonlight

I was holding you tight

But it was only a dream



Only a dream

And that knocked me off of my feet

Only a dream

It was dancing in the street



And the big band kept on playing

Of Bonaparte's retreat

But it was only a dream



Only a dream

But somebody

Tried to knock it down



Only a dream

But that dream

Keeps hanging around



Only a dream

We were roiling in the snow

Only a dream

And we just couldn't let go



I sat outside the window

It was just like Romeo

But it was only a dream



Only a dream but somebody

Tried to knock it down

Only a dream but that dream

Is still around



Up on Mockingbird hill

And I'm feeling no pain

Ali the birds are singing

Their all so sweet refrain



If I had to do it all over

I'd do the same thing again

'Cos it was only a dream



Oh 'cos it s only a dream

That knocked me off of my feet



Only a dream

We were dancing

Out in the street



And the big band kept on playing

Of Bonaparte's retreat

But it was only a dream



Oh but it was only just a dream

Din but it was only a dream

Oh but it was only a dream

Oh what a dream
