night _ seemed to _ fade into [Dbm] _ _ _ blossoming _ dawn.
The [Gbm] sun _ shone [Ab]
anew, _ but the _ dance lingered [Dbm] on.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _

_ [G] _ _
[Gb] A million baby kisses _ I'll deliver, _ [B] if you will only sing the Swanny River [A] _ rock [Abm]-a-bye, you [F] rock-a-bye [Gbm] baby [Bm] with a Dixie _ [E] _ _ [A] melody. _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _

[E]
Now wait.
[Abm] See that he's on that [Dbm] plane with Tom tonight?
[Abm] They'll do a great [Eb] show.

[E] But look, when [Ebm] did you last see him as [Db] happy as that?

[Bb] And Steve, [Eb] when he gets home nights after the show, [D] don't let him sing too [Abm] long.
_ _ _ [Dbm] You will [Abm] see _ crowds [Db] of deaf and [Eb] deaf.
_ _ So [C] keep on [A]
looking [Am] for a bluebird [Abm] and listening [Dbm] for its song. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Whenever [Eb] _
[A] April _ [B] showers _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Abm] come. _ _ _ _ _
