IntroCCFCGCmaj9AmGFFCGCFCGCVerse 1CFCG
Well, when the lights hang low
AmGF
And I lay down and close my eyes
CGF
I see colors and spinning wheels
CGF
I hear a language I don't understand
CGF
I see people I've not seen for years
CGDm
I hold a magic in my hands
DmF
I sing songs that I never write
G
'Cause their gone by the morning light
[Solo]
CFCGCFCGCVerse 2CFCG
Yes, and I dream away
AmGF
And I'm as free as the summer sky
CGF
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
CGF
I lay down in fields of gold
CGF
I see mountains snow white and steep
CGDm
Though I never feel the cold
DmF
I can't stay there, try as I might
GC
'Cause it's gone by the morning light
ChorusFGC
So, if you find that I'm sleeping
FGCC7
Soft and warm as a child
FG
Would you just let me be
CCmaj9Am
For a moment happy and free?
GFG
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
[Solo]
CFCGCFCGCVerse 3CFCG
Yeah, when the night draws in
AmGF
And I lay down to rest my head
CGF
I find boxes of photographs
CGF
And old movies I saw long ago
CGF
I can still hear my sister laugh
CGF
On the beaches of Mexico
CGF
Where the phosphorescence shines 'neath the moon
CGF
And a thousand stars, they glow
CGF
But they always fade out so soon
CGDm
To a place where I just can't go
DmF
Though I hold on to them so tight
GC
They are gone by the morning light
ChorusFGC
So, if you find that I'm sleeping
FGCC7
Soft and warm as a child
FG
Would you just let me be
CCmaj7Am
For a moment happy and free?
GFGAmCmaj9C
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
FG
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
