1. I’ve been
loving you for a long time,

down
all the years, down all the days.
C F

And I’ve cried for all your
troubles,
C
F - G
smiled
at your funny little ways.

C

and
we saw them as they fell.
C F - G
Some of them fell into heaven,
C F - G
some
of them fell into hell.

3. I took a shelter from a shower,
C F - G
and I
stepped into your arms,
C F

on a rainy night in Soho,
C
F - G
the
wind was whistling on its charm.
C F - G
4. I sang you all my sorrows,
C F - G
you
told me all your joys.

Whatever happened to that old song,
C

to all
those little girls and boys ?

5. Sometimes I wake up in the
morning,
C
F - G
the
ginger-lady by my bed,
C F - G
covered in a
cloak of silence,
C
F - G
I hear you talking in my head.
C F - G
6. I’m not singing for the
future,
C F - G
I’m not dreaming of the past.
C F - G
I’m not talking of the first
time,
C F - G
I never think about the last.
C F - G
7. Now the song is nearly
over,
C
F - G
we may
never find out what it means.
C F
- G
Still there’s a light I hold
before me,
C
F
and
you’re the measure of my dreams,
G C
the measure of my dreams.
