It's only the wind

I remember as a child on a dark and stormy night
I heard the screen door slam and I was overcome with fright
So afraid that something bad was trying to get in
Then mama came to comfort me and said,

Chorus
It's only the wind, and nothing more.
Not the end of the world knocking at the door
So close your eyes and dream again, believe me,
It's only the wind

Every time I've had to face a bitter storm of life,
Those words of comfort were my shelter in the night
But tonight I don't believe I'm able to pretend
The storm that you and I are up against is only the wind.

I can hear you downstairs and you're just about to leave
There's nothing else that I can do to keep you here with me,
And now the screen door's slammin and I'm frightened once again
What I wouldn't give if I could be convinced

It's only the wind, and nothing more
Not the end of the world walking out the door
I wish that I could dream again, believing it's only the wind
Oh and nothing more, not the end of my world walking out thedoor

(Fade)
I wish that I could dream again, believing it's only thewind...
Only the wind…
