[Em] [D]
[G] [C]
[D] [Em] [Bm]
[Am] [D] [Am] [Bm] [F] [G] Where you stand [D] in your dungarees, [Em] looking all grown up [D] and so very pleased
[G] When you write your poems, [D] they have so much to say
[Em] When you speak your dreams, [D] it takes my breath away
[C] You know I wanna be a [G] regular [Bm] [Em] sluggin' fool
[G] [C] But both our dreams [D] must wait a while [C] until [D] we finish [G] school
And so you and I, we'll watch [C] our years go by
We'll watch [D] our sweet dreams fly far [Em] away
[Bm] But maybe [Am] someday, [G] I don't know when, but we [C] will dream again
And we'll [D] be happy then, till [Em] our time [Bm] just drifts [Am] away
[D]
[E] [Bm] [Am] [G] Where you stand in [D] your wedding dress, [E] you're so beautiful that [D] I must confess
[G] I'm so proud you [D] have chosen me, [Em] when a doctor is [D] what you wanna be
[C] You know I wanna be a painter girl, [G] a real [Bm] artistic [Em] snob
[C] But I guess we'll have our [D] children first, you'll [D] make a home, I'll get a [G] job
And so you and I, we'll watch [C] our years go by
We'll watch [D] our sweet dreams fly far [Em] away
[Bm] But maybe [Am] someday, [G] I don't know when, but we [Am] will dream [C] again
And we'll [D] be happy then, till [Em] our time [Bm] just drifts [Am] away
[D] [Am] [Bm]
[A] [Em] Listen to [G] the seasons passing, [A] listen [C] to the wind blow
[Em] Listen to [G] the children [A] laughing, where do [C] broken [D] dreams go?
[G] There you [D] stand in your tailored suit, [Em] so many years gone [D] by but you're still so cute
[G] We take the car [D] to go and meet the bus, [Em] when our grandchildren [D] come to visit us
[C] You say you should have been a ballerina, babe, [G] there are songs [Bm] I should [Em] have [G] sung
[C] But I guess our dreams [D] have come and gone, you [C] gotta dream [D] when you [G] are young
And [D] so you [G] and I, we'll watch [C] our years go by
We'll watch [D] our sweet dreams fly [Em] far away
[Bm] But maybe [Am] someday, [G] I don't know when, but we [C] will dream again
And we'll [D] be happy then, till [Em] our time [Bm] just drifts [Am] away
[G] [Am]
[C] [D] [Em]
[Bm] [Am] [G] You and I, [C] we'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our [D] sweet dreams fly far [Em] away
[Bm] I [Am] [G] don't know when, but [C] we will dream again
And [D] we'll be happy then, [Em] till our time
[Bm] [Am] [G] Oh you, you and I, [C] watch those years go by
[D] Watch those sweet, sweet dreams fly
[Em] [Am] [Bm] [Am] [G] [C]
[D]
