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 then you touched my hand

And I learned April dreams can come true

Are we just April fools

Who can't see all the danger around us?

If we're just April fools

I don't care, true love has found us now

Little did we know where the road would lead

Here we are a million miles away from the past

Travelin' so fast, now there's no turning back

If our sweet April dream doesn't last

Are we just April fools

Who can't see all the danger around us?

If we're just April fools

I don't care, we'll find our way somehow

No need to be afraid

True love has found us now
