Lyrics

(D5)I was a lit tle girl, a lone in my lit tle world, who (Bm7)dreamed of a lit tle home for (G)me.

I (D5)played pre tend be tween the trees and fed my house guests bark and leaves and laughed in my pret ty bed of (G)green.

I had a (D5)dream

that I could fly

from the (G)high est swing.

I had a (D5)dream.

(D5)Long walks a in the dark through woods grown be hind the park, I (Bm7)asked God a who I’m s’posed to (G)be.

The (D5)stars pre smiled be down on me.

God an swered in si rev er ie.

I said prayer and pret ty fell a (G)sleep.

I had a (D5)dream

that I could fly

from the (G)high est tree.

I had a (D5)dream.

(D5)Ooh,

(A)ooh.

(Bm7)Ooh,

ooh.

(D5)Ooh,

(A)ooh.

(Bm7)Ooh,

ooh.

(D5)Now I’m old and feel ing gray.

I don’t know what’s left to say a (Bm7)bout this life I’m

will ing to (G)leave.

I (D5)lived it full and I lived it well.

There’s man y tales I’ve lived to tell.

I’m read y now,

I’m read y now,

I’m read y now

to (Bm7)fly

from the (G)high est wing.

I had a (D5)dream.

Dream — Classic Piano Sheet Music

Read "Dream" by Priscilla Ahn in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 90 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to lock in your left-hand oompah pattern — that steady bass-note-then-chord rocking motion that gives ballads their gentle pulse.

At 90 BPM in the key of D, you have plenty of breathing room, so focus on keeping that left hand relaxed and even before adding the melody.

Your five chords sit nicely under the fingers, but watch the shift into Bm7 and F#m — those minor shapes require a quick hand position change, so loop those transitions slowly until they feel automatic.

The Dped sections anchor your left hand on a repeated D bass while chords move above it; resist the urge to glance down, and trust the feel of that fixed bass note.

Practice hands separately for two or three passes, then combine at half tempo.

Once it clicks, this song will make pedal-point bass feel like second nature for every ballad you play next.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Dream" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
