        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

And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream
And I hope that it never comes true
'Cause you and I been through so many
things together
And the sun starts climbing the roof

Chorus:
         C             G
It's a dream, only a dream
          F        G
And it's fading now
         C            G
Fading away, only a dream
          F                 G        C  F
Just a memory, without anywhere to stay

The Red River stills flows through my home town
Rollin', tumblin', on its way
Swirling around the old bridge pylons
Where a boy fishes the morning away

His bicycle leans on an old oak tree
While the cars rumble over his head
An aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky
And the young birds call out to be fed

Chorus

An old man walks along on the sidewalk
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away
As he stops with the policeman to chat

And a train rolls out of the station
That was really somethin' in its day
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails
As it carries the passengers away

Chorus:
It's gone, oonly a dream
And it's fading now
Fading away, only a dream
Just a memory, without anywhere
It's a dream, only a dream
And it's fading now
Fading away, only a dream
Just a memory, without anywhere to stay
