In my dreams (video) (intro) (midi)

G - Em - C - G - D

G

1. There was a time some time ago,

Em C G

when every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh, a sunny day.

G

But now when the morning light shines in,

Em C D

it only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh, where I lay.

C D

I used to thank the Lord when I’d wake,

C Am D

feel life, and love, and the golden sky above me.

Am G C

But now I pray the stars will go on shining,

D G - C - G - C

you see, in my dreams you love me.

G

2. Daybreak is a joyful time,

Em C G

just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh, the harmonies.

G

But I wish the dawn would never come,

Em C D

I wish there was silence in the trees, oh, the trees.

C D

If only I could stay asleep,

C Am D

at least I could pretend you’re thinking of me,

Am G C

‘cause night time is the one time I am happy,

D

you see in my dreams - - -

G C D Em - D

We climb, and climb and at the top we fly,

C G C D

let the world go on below us, we are lost in time.

Em C G

And I don`t know really what it means,

D C - D G

all I know is that you love me in my dreams.

+ Am - D - Em - C - G - D

C G

I keep hoping one day I am awaken,

C G

and somehow she’ll be lying by my side.

C F Em

And as I wonder if the dawn is really breaking,

Am C D

she touches me and suddenly I’m alive.

+ CHORUS (2x) + Am - D - Em - D - C - G - D

G

+ In my dreams.
