Dreams go by (video)

Em - D7 + G - C - D7 - Em - Bm - Am - D - D7

G D

1. There you stand in your dungarees,

Em D

looking all grown up and so very pleased,

G D

when you write your poems, they have so much to say.

Em D

When you speak your dreams, it takes my breath away

C G Em

You know I want to be a ball player, a regular slugging fool,

C D C D G

but both our dreams must wait awhile until we finish school.

G C

And so you and I, we'll watch our years go by,

D7 Em Bm Am

we'll watch our sweet dreams fly far away, but maybe someday.

G C

I don't know when, but we will dream again,

D7 Em Bm Am - D - D7

and we'll be happy then 'till our time just drifts away.

G D

2. There you stand in your wedding dress,

Em D

you're so beautiful that I must confess.

G D

I'm so proud you have chosen me,

Em D

when a doctor is what you want to be.

C G Em

You know I want to be a painter, girl, a real artistic snob,

C D

But I guess we'll have our children first,

C - D G

you'll make a home, I'll get a job.

+ CHORUS

Em D C Am

+ Listen to the seasons passing, listen to the wind blow,

Em D C Am D

listen to the children laughing, where do broken dreams go ?

G D

3. There you stand in your tailored suit,

Em D

so many years gone by, but you're still so cute.

G D

We take the car to go and meet the bus,

Em D

when our grandchildren come to visit us.

C

You say you should have been a ballerina, babe,

G Em

there are songs I should have sung,

C D

but I guess our dreams have come and gone,

C D G

you gotta dream when you are young.

G C

And so you and I, we'll watch our years go by,

D7 Em Bm Am

we'll watch our sweet dreams fly far away, but maybe someday.

G C

I don't know when, but we will dream again,

D7 Em Bm Am

and we'll be happy then 'till our time just drifts away.

+ G - C - D7 - Em - Bm - Am

+ CHORUS ....
