I remember as a child on a dark stormy night 

I heard the screendoor slam and I was overcome with fright 

So afraid that someone bad was trying to get in 

And momma came to comfort me and said 

"It's only the wind, and nothing more 

Not the end of the world knockin' at the door 

So close your eyes and dream again 

Believe me, It's only the wind" 



Everytime I'e 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, no 

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 

Believin' it's only the wind 

oh,nothing more, not the end of my world 

Walking out the door 

I wish that I could dream again 

Believin' it's only the wind 

Only the wind
