G5            G5                C5    G5
You sit with the man who threw it all away
        G5            G5               C5      G5      
And you dream of the birds that have flown away
        G5             D5            G5    C5     D5
And you hope that you won't see it fall again 

                  G5               C5                 G5     C5
And you will sing day by day, old joy comes back to me
            G5               C5                 G5     C5
You'll sing day by day, old joy comes back to me 

    G5               G5           C5            G5
You say this is the life of the influence of dreams
G5                    G5          C5             G5 
Tall buildings and a wife won't be enough for me
         G5           D5           G5          C5       D5 
There is more in the world to be found than dreams 



                  G5               C5                 G5     C5
And you will sing day by day, old joy comes back to me
            G5               C5                 G5      C5 
You'll sing day by day, old joy comes back to me 
           G5           D5    C5               G5           D5   C5  
Forget the things that get away, forget the things that get away
      G5         D5    C5          G5         D5    C5 
Don't dream of yesterday, don't dream of yesterday
