1 234 1 234 1 234 1 2 3 4 1 234
G (320003@1) DThere (xx0232@1)you stand in your dungarees
Em (022000@1) DLooking (xx0232@1)all grown up and so very pleased
G (320003@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)you write your poems they have so much to say
Em (022000@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)you speak your dreams it takes my breath away
CYou (x32010@1)know I want to be a ball player
G (320003@1) D/A (x00232@1) Em (022000@1) Em7
A regular slugging fool
C (x32010@1) DBut (xx0232@1)both our dreams must wait awhile
C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GUntil (320003@1)we finish school
D (xx0232@1) GAnd (320003@1)so you and I
CWe (x32010@1)watch our years go by
DWe (xx0232@1)watch our sweet dreams fly
Em (022000@1) Bm (x24432@1) AmFar (x02210@1)away, but maybe someday
GI (320003@1)don't know when
CBut (x32010@1)we will dream again
DAnd (xx0232@1)we'll be happy then
Em (022000@1) Bm (x24432@1) Am (x02210@1) DTill (xx0232@1)our time just drifts away
There you stand in your wedding dress
You're so beautiful that I must confess
I'm so proud you have chosen me
When a doctor is what you want to be
You know I want to be a painter, girl
A real artistic snob
But I guess we'll have our children first
You'll make a home, I'll get a job
And so you and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
Far away, but maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
Till our time just drifts away
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1) Listen to the seasons passing
Cadd9 (x32030@1) Cmaj7 (x32000@1) Listen to the wind blow
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1) Listen to the children laughing
Cmaj7 (x32000@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) Where do broken dreams go?
There you stand in your tailored suit
So many years gone by, but you're still so cute
We take the car to go and meet the bus
When our grandchildren come to visit us
You say you should have been a ballerina, babe
There are songs I should have sung
But I guess our dreams have come and gone
You've gotta dream when you are young
And so you and I
We've watched our years go by
We've watched our sweet dreams fly
Far away, but maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
Till our time just drifts away
-Instrumental break- [Chorus chords]
You and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
Far away
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be ha-ha-happy then
Till our time just drifts away
Oh you - you and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet, sweet dreams fly
Far away
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
Till our time just drifts away
