F5                            C5
Sailboats wish that they were stars,
          G5
Floating softly in the sky
 Bb5
Among our dreams that pay goodbye


F5                         C5
Moving through transparent space, 
          G5
Drifting through the stratosphere
  Bb5                   C5
And onward 'till they disappear


F5                       C5
These continents from overhead
          G5
Look like tiny paper shapes
Bb5
Intricately set in place


F5                      C5
Below the misty mountain clouds
          G5
Theres a lovely silver bay
      Bb5              C5         F5
Where sunset sailors often hideaway


 Bb5        F5         C5       
      Scuba diver in the lock, 
 Bb5            F5          C5
      Speedboat driver on the dock
 Bb5            F5          C5           D5             Bb5
      Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you
                      F5               Bb5      C5
      The world looks brighter from this high altitude


 Bb5        F5                 C5       
      I was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars)
 Bb5            F5                 C5
      And I was swimming through the sea (Cause they don't know who 
      they are)
 Bb5         F5               C5
      I was falling through the air
             D5            Bb5
      When it hit me right there...
                 F5     Bb5         C5  
      My eyes are tired; I don't even care

F5 , C5 , G5 , Bb5
F5 , C5 , G5 , Bb5 , C5


F5                       C5
An airplane carried me to bed, 
         G5
Where i slept above the coast 
     Bb5
And dreamt I had become a ghost


F5                     C5
I sail above the frozen peaks,
         G5
Deep in cold cathedral caves
  Bb5                  C5             F5 
Across the hills and far beyond the waves


Bb5            F5        C5
      Take the car on the lawn
Bb5           F5          C5      
      Fly the jet to the sun
Bb5                   F5
      And bring the spacecraft
          C5                D5             Bb5
      'n soon while I play chess with the moon
                  F5                  Bb5        C5 
      I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon


Bb5          F5 C5                            
      Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars)
Bb5              F5        C5
      An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are)


Bb5                     F5     C5
      And though you'll never return,
                D5             
      I love you Audrey Hepburn
Bb5            F5            Bb5          C5     
      Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd


Bb5             F5             C5
      There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky
Bb5              F5           C5
      But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly
Bb5               F5            C5
      I'm glad the Earth doesn't care
        D5        
      If I go up there
Bb5           F5        Bb5              C5
      If you want to just ask me and I'll take you along..
