Foolish as it seems, I still have my dreams  
So I keep hoping, 

Dmaj7                   G6/A                   
Day after day, as I wait for the man, I need
Dmaj7                   G6/A                                   Dmaj7
And night after night as I wish for a love that can be 
G/A                             Dmaj7                          G6/A
Though I'm sure that no one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Dmaj7                   G6/A                                           Bbmaj9
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me. 

Dmaj7                                                   G6/A                   
When someone walks in your life, you'd just better be sure he's right. 
Dmaj7                   G6/A                                   Dmaj7
`cause if he's wrong there's are heartaches and tears you must face. 
G/A                             Dmaj7                          G6/A
Keep both of your eyes on the door never let it get out of sight 
Dmaj7                           G6/A                Bbmaj9
Just be prepared when the time has come for you to run away

Gmaj7           A/G                    F#m7 
Sail when the wind starts to blow 
Gmaj7         A/G              F#m7   Eb/F     C/D   Abmaj7        
But like a fool I don't know      when   to     leave.

End on F
