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 it 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 rolling 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
All the birds are singing
Their all so sweet refrain
If I had to do it all over again
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
Oh but it was only a dream
Oh but it was only a dream
Oh what a dream

You hit the nail on the head. I've been a Van Morrison fan ever since he came out with the Moondance album. He's been a huge influence in my life. Thanks, Van!

In the end, We have only our friends and dreams. They help us thru life and give us solace during the dying time,which I am facing now. Keep your friends closer than Gold because when money no longer matters, friends become priceless and memories become the most important thing,because they bring back love 'round and love is the only thing we can take with us. Thanks Van for all the memories and may these youngsters find you to find what real music is all about
