Lyrics

In the morn ing when you wake up, I like to be lieve you are think ing of me.

And when the sun comes the through your win dow, I like to be lieve you’ve been dream ing of me.

(C#m)Dream (D)ing,

(F#m)umm.

(A)I know ’cause I’ve spent half this (D)mo ment

(A)think ing a bout the (E)tee shirt you sleep in.

I should know ’cause I’d spend oh, the whole day

(E)lis ten ing to your mess age I’m keep ing

and (E)nev er de let ing.

When I saw you, ev ’ry one knew I liked the af fect that you had on my eyes.

But no one else heard the way of your words or felt the af fect that they have on my mind.

(C#m)Fall (D)ing,

(F#m)umm.

(A)I know ’cause I’ve spent half this (D)mo ment

(A)think ing a bout the (E)tee shirt you sleep in.

I should know ’cause I’d spend oh, the whole day

(E)lis ten ing to your mess age I’m keep ing

and (E)nev er de let ing.
