In   an   April dream once you came to me

When you smiled, I looked into your eyes

And I knew        I'd be loving you and 
A7M   A  A7M       E7/13   Fdim   E7    Bm5-/7  E7/9-  Fdim      A7M

D9  E7 A7M  D9    A7M    D9  E7    A7M      D9   E7/9-   Fdim E7

Here we are, a million miles away     from the past

Traveling so fast now

There's no turning back, if our sweet  April dream doesn't last
