Well, when the lights hang low
Am7Gsus4Fsus2
And I lay down and close my eyes
CGsus4Fsus2
I see colors and spinning wheels
CGsus4Fsus2
I hear a language I don't understand
CGsus4Fsus2
I see people I've not seen for years
CGsus4Dm
I hold a magic in my hands
DmFsus2
I sing songs that I never write
Gsus4
'Cause their gone by the morning light
[Solo]
CFCGsus4CFCGsus4CVerse 2CFCGsus4
Yes, and I dream away
Am7Gsus4Fsus2
And I'm as free as the summer sky
CGsus4Fsus2
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
CGsus4Fsus2
I lay down in fields of gold
CGsus4Fsus2
I see mountains snow white and steep
CGsus4Dm
Though I never feel the cold
DmFsus2
I can't stay there, try as I might
Gsus4C
'Cause it's gone by the morning light
ChorusFGsus4C
So, if you find that I'm sleeping
FGsus4CC7
Soft and warm as a child
FGsus4
Would you just let me be
CCmaj9/BAm7
For a moment happy and free?
Gsus4Fsus2Gsus4
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
[Solo]
CFCGsus4CFCGsus4CVerse 3CFCGsus4
Yeah, when the night draws in
Am7Gsus4Fsus2
And I lay down to rest my head
CGsus4Fsus2
I find boxes of photographs
CGsus4Fsus2
And old movies I saw long ago
CGsus4Fsus2
I can still hear my sister laugh
CGsus4Fsus2
On the beaches of Mexico
CGsus4Fsus2
Where the phosphorescence shines 'neath the moon
CGsus4Fsus2
And a thousand stars, they glow
CGsus4Fsus2
But they always fade out so soon
CGsus4Dm
To a place where I just can't go
DmFsus2
Though I hold on to them so tight
Gsus4C
They are gone by the morning light
ChorusFGsus4C
So, if you find that I'm sleeping
FGsus4CC7
Soft and warm as a child
FGsus4
Would you just let me be
CCmaj7/BAm7
For a moment happy and free?
Gsus4Fsus2Gsus4Am7Cmaj9/BC
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
Fsus2Gsus4
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
