[Verse 1]
G D There you stand in your dungarees Em D Looking all grown up and so very pleased G D When you write your poems they have so much to say Em D When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away
[Pre-chorus 1]
C You know I want to be a ball player G D/A Em Em7 A regular slugging fool C D But both our dreams must wait awhile C D G Until we finish school
[Chorus]
D G And so you and I C We watch our years go by D We watch our sweet dreams fly Em Bm Am Far away, but maybe someday G I don't know when C But we will dream again D And we'll be happy then Em Bm Am D Till our time just drifts away
[Verse 2]
G D There you stand in your wedding dress Em D You're so beautiful that I must confess G D I'm so proud you have chosen me Em D When a doctor is what you want to be
[Pre-chorus 2]
C You know I want to be a painter, girl G D Em Em7 A real artistic snob C D But I guess we'll have our children first C D G You'll make a home, I'll get a job
[Chorus]
D G And so you and I C We'll watch our years go by D We'll watch our sweet dreams fly Em Bm Am Far away, but maybe someday G I don't know when C But we will dream again D And we'll be happy then Em Bm Am D Till our time just drifts away
[Refrain]
Em D Listen to the seasons passing Cadd9 Cmaj7 Listen to the wind blow Em D Listen to the children laughing Cmaj7 C D Where do broken dreams go?
[Verse 3]
G D There you stand in your tailored suit Em D So many years gone by, but you're still so cute G D We take the car to go and meet the bus Em D When our grandchildren come to visit us
[Pre-chorus 3]
C You say you should have been a ballerina, babe G D Em Em7 There are songs I should have sung C D But I guess our dreams have come and gone C D G You've gotta dream when you are young
[Chorus]
D G And so you and I C We've watched our years go by D We've watched our sweet dreams fly Em Bm Am Far away, but maybe someday G I don't know when C But we will dream again D And we'll be happy then Em Bm Am D Till our time just drifts away
