Only A Dream Lyrics


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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
