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
