B
There was a time some time ago
                                  E             B F#
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
     B
But now when the morning light shines in
    B                                   E
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay,
            F#
oh where I lay
E                   F#
I used to thank the Lord when I'd wake
     E                     B     G#m   F#
For life and love and the golden sky above me
    C#m              B/D#             E
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin'
        F#                 B
You see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies,
oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least
I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause night time is the one time I am happy
You see in my dreams

Chorus:
   B/D#        E       F#             G#m F#
We climb and climb and at the top we fly
         E       B/D#
Let the world go on below us
 E              F#
We are lost in time
      G#m         E             B/D#
And I don't know really what it means
       F#               E     F#
All I know is that you love me
        B
In my dreams

E                            B
I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken
     E                             B
And somehow she'll be lying by my side
          E             A              G#m
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
     C#m                         F#
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive

Chorus:
And we climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
But I know that you love me, in my dreams

We climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

Oho, in, in my dreams
