GThere you stand in your Ddungarees
Looking Emall grown up and so Dvery pleased
When you Gwrite your poems they have so Dmuch to say
When you Emspeak your dreams it takes my Dbreath away
You Cknow I want to be a ball player
A Gregular D/Aslugging Emfool Em7
But Cboth our dreams must Dwait awhile
UnCtil we Dfinish Gschool
DAnd so Gyou and I
We watch our Cyears go by
We watch our Dsweet dreams fly
Far aEmway, but Bmmaybe Amsomeday
I Gdon't know when
But we will Cdream again
And we'll be Dhappy then
Till our Emtime just Bmdrifts aAmway D
There you stand in your wedding dress
You're so beautiful that I must confess
I'm so proud you have chosen me
When a doctor is what you want to be
You know I want to be a painter, girl
A real artistic snob
But I guess we'll have our children first
You'll make a home, I'll get a job
And so you and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
Far away, but maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
Till our time just drifts away
Em Listen to the Dseasons passing
Cadd9 Listen to the Cmaj7wind blow
Em Listen to the Dchildren laughing
Cmaj7 Where do broken Cdreams Dgo?
There you stand in your tailored suit
So many years gone by, but you're still so cute
We take the car to go and meet the bus
When our grandchildren come to visit us
You say you should have been a ballerina, babe
There are songs I should have sung
But I guess our dreams have come and gone
You've gotta dream when you are young
And so you and I
We've watched our years go by
We've watched our sweet dreams fly
Far away, but maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
Till our time just drifts away
-Instrumental break- [Chorus chords]
You and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
Far away
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be ha-ha-happy then
Till our time just drifts away
Oh you - you and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet, sweet dreams fly
Far away
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
Till our time just drifts away
