"Only A Dream (2024)" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

Only a dream that I had in the night
Only a dream and it felt so right
We were standing in the moonlight, I was holding you tight
But it was only a dream

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

[Refrain:]
Only a dream
But somebody, somebody tried to shoot me down
Knock me down
Only a dream
But that dream is still around

Only a dream, we were rolling in the snow
Only a dream, but I just couldn't let go
Oh, I sat outside the window, it felt just like Romeo
But it was only just a dream

[Refrain:]
Only a dream
But somebody tried to shoot it down
Only a dream
But that dream, but that dream, still around

Up on Mockingbird Hill, nobody's feeling the pain
The birds are singing that oh so sweet refrain
If I had to do it all over, I wouldn't do everything the same
'Cause it was only a dream

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