Songtexte Only a Dream - Van Morrison

It was only a dream that I had in the night
Only a dream, but it felt so right
We were standing in the moonlight
Holding you tight but it was only just a dream

Only a dream, knocked me off of my feet
Only a dream was it, we were dancing in the street
And the big band kept on playing, Bonaparte's retreat
But it was only a dream

Only a dream, but somebody tried to shoot it down
Shoot it down
Only a dream, but that dream is still around

It was only a dream, we were roiling in the snow
Only a dream, just couldn't seem to let go
Stood outside the window, felt like Romeo
But it was only a dream

Only a dream, but somebody, oh somebody tried to shoot it down
Shoot it down
Only a dream, but that dream is still around

Up on Mockingbird hill and I'm feeling no pain
Birds are singing, oh, their all so sweet refrain
If I had to do it all over, do the same thing again
It was only a dream

Oh that dream
Knocked me off my feet
Band in New Orleans
We were dancing in the street
The band kept on swingin'
Bonaparte's retreat
Only a dream

Bonaparte's retreat
Bonaparte's retreat
Bonaparte's retreat
