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
