Intro:  
||:  AM7 | AM7 | DM7 | DM7 :||

AM7 A  AM7       E7/6  F#m      DM7  D6 D9
In  an  A - pril dream once you came to me,

E7   D9  DM7       E7        Bm7-5     E7-9
When you smiled, I looked in - to your eyes

Fdim  F#m  F#m/E  Cdim   B7     F7   E7
And I knew        I'd be loving you and.

AM7   A  AM7       E7/6   Fdim   E7    Bm7-5  E7-9  Fdim      AM7
Then you touched my hand, and I learned April dreams can come true.
 

Refrain:

D9  E7 AM7  D9    AM7    D9  E7    AM7         D9   E7-9   Fdim E7
Are we just April fools, who can't see all the dan - ger around us?

D9  E7   AM7  D9    AM7   F#7       D     Bm7-5 E7-9     Fdim  E7  A 
If we're just April fools, I don't care -- true love has found us now.

 

AM7    A  AM7    E7/6  F#m      DM7   D6    D9
Lit - tle did we know where the road would lead;

E7   D9  DM7    E7              Bm7-5 E7-9 Fdim    F#m  F#m/E  
Here we are, a million miles a - way  from the past, 

Cdim   B7     F7   E7
Traveling so fast now.

AM7     A  AM7     E7/6  Fdim   E7   Bm7-5      E7-9  Fdim     AM7
There's no turning back, if our sweet  A - pril dream doesn't last.



Repeat Refrain: 



Though it is not credited here, there's a version recorded by Vanessa Williams in 1996 that is an especially worthwhile listen.
