       C                          F
In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound

       C                    F
Of the birds outside on the roof

  C                      F
I try to ignore what the paper says

      C                       F
And I try not to read all the news

         C                     F
And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream

      C                   F
And I hope it never comes true

       C                              F
'Cause you and I been through so many things together

        C                       F
And the sun starts climbing the roof

       C
It's a dream

       G
Only a dream

         F          G
And it's fading now

        C
Fading away

            G
It's only a dream

       F                 G        C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

    C                                 F
The Red River stills flows through my home town

C                           F
Rollin' and tumblin' on its way

C                              F
Swirling around the old bridge pylons

        C                       F
Where a boy fishes the morning away

    C                   F
His bicycle leans on an oak tree

          C                    F
While the cars rumble over his head

   C                             F
An airplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky

        C                          F
And the young birds call out to be fed

       C
It's a dream

       G
Only a dream

         F          G
And it's fading now

        C
Fading away

       G
Only a dream

       F                 G        C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

   C                          F
An old man walks along on the sidewalk

C                             F
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat

    C                               F
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away

      C                           F
As he stops with the policeman to chat

      C                      F
And a train rolls out of the station

         C                       F
That was really somethin' in its day

C                                F
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails

      C                       F
As it carries the passengers away

     C
It's gone

            G
It's only a dream

         F          G
And it's fading now

        C
Fading away

Only a dream
