VAN MORRISON
"Only A Dream (2013 Version)"

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
Band in New Orleans 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 shoot it down, shoot it down
Only a dream but that dream's still around

It was only a dream we were rolling in the snow
Only a dream just couldn't seem to let go
Sat outside the window felt like romeo
But it was only a dream

Only a dream but somebody, but somebody
Tried to shoot it down, shoot it down
Only a dream but that dream, it's around

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

Only a dream knocked me off of my feet
Band in New Orleans it was dancing in the street
Big band kept on swinging of Bonaparte's retreat
Only a dream

Bonaparte's retreat...
