Lyrics

(F)Long

a (Gm7)go and (C7)far a (Fmaj7)way,

I (Gm7)dreamed a (C7)dream one (F6)day,

and (C7)now,

that (F)dream is here (D7)be (Bbmaj7)side (C7)me.

(Ab)Long

the (Bbm7)skies were (Eb7)o ver (Abmaj7)cast,

but (G7)now the (G7)clouds have (C)passed:

you’re (C6)here

at (C7)last!

(F)Chills

run (Gm7)up and (C7)down my (Fmaj7)spine,

Al (Gm7)lad din’s (C7)lamp is (F6)mine,

the (C7)dream

I (F)dreamed was not (D7)de (Bbmaj7)nied (C7)me.

(F7)Just

one look and then I (Bb)knew

that all I (F)longed

(Dm7)for (Gm7)long a (C7)go was (F)you.
