Lyrics

(G)Long

(Em)a (Am)go and (D7)far a (Gmaj7)way,

I (Am)dreamed a (D7)dream one (G)day,

and (Am)now,

(D7)that (G)dream is (Em)here be (Am)side (D)me.

(Bb)Long

(Gm)the (Cm7)skies were (F)o ver (Bbmaj7)cast,

but (A7)now the clouds have (D)passed:

You’re (Bm)here

(E)at (Am)last!

(G)Chills

(Em)run (Am)up and (D7)down my (Gmaj7)spine,

A (Am)lad din’s (D7)lamp is (G)mine,

the (Am)dream

(D7)I (G)dreamed was (Em)not de (Am)nied (D)me.

(Bb)Long

(Gm)the (Cm7)skies were (F)o ver (Bbmaj7)cast,

but (A7)now the clouds have (D)passed:

You’re (Bm)here

(E)at (Am)last!

(Dm)Just

one (G)look and then I (Cmaj7)knew

that all I (G)longed

(Em)for, (Am)long a (D)go, was (G)you.
