only a dream
that i had
in the night
only a dream
but it felt
so right
well i was down there
in the moonlight
i was holding you tight
but it was only a dream
only a dream
only a dream
that knocks me off my feet
only a dream
have you dancing
in the street
and that big band
keeps on playing
joe henry's retreat
but only a dream
only in my dream
only a dream
but somebody tried to knock me down
only a dream
keeps on hanging around
only a dream
we're rolling in the snow
only a dream
we just couldn't let go
i sit outside your window
just like romeo
but it's only a dream
yes, only a dream
but someone tries to knock me down
to the ground
but it was only a dream
but it's just a dream
still hanging around.
