Only A Dream - Solomon Burke

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 that 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 roiling 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, 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, din but it was only a dream

Oh but it was only a dream, oh what a dream
