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 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"

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, 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 and 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
