 D#             G#          D# A#
Well, when the lights hang low
           Cm7       A#      G#
And I lay down and close my eyes
  D#               A#      G#
I see colors and spinning wheels
          D#         A#          G#
I hear a language I don't understand
       D#         A#            G#
I see people I've not seen for years
         D#       A#     Fm
I hold a magic in my hands
                            G#
I sing songs that I never write
              A#                 D#
'Cause their gone by the morning light

Yes, and I dream away
I'm as free as the summer sky
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
I lay down in fields of gold
I climb mountains snow white and steep
Though I never feel the cold
I can't stay there, try as I might
'Cause I'm gone by the morning light

Chorus:
G#          A#                   D#
So, if you find that I'm sleeping
G#        A#            D# D#7
Soft and warm as a child
G#                    A#
Would you just let me be
       D#     A#/D      Cm7
For a moment happy and free?
A#              G#            A#
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?

Oh, when the night draws in
And I lay down and I rest my head
I find boxes of photographs
And old movies I saw long ago
I can still hear my sister laugh
On the beaches of Mexico
Where the phosphorescence shines beneath the moon
And a thousand stars, they glow
But they always fade out so soon
To a place where I just can't go
Though I hold on to them so tight
They are gone by the morning light

Chorus:
So, if you find that I am sleeping
Soft and warm as a child
Oh, would you just let me be
For a moment happy and free?
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while? Uh
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
