Lyrics

So close your

(Bbdim)eyes, a ly way to (Am7)be,

a ware of (Gmaj7)things your heart a (Gm)lone was meant to (F#)see.

The fun da men tal (Bm7)lone li ness goes when ev er (Bb7)two can dream a dream to geth er.

You can’t de ny, don’t try to fight the ris ing (Am7)sea,

don’t fight the (Gmaj7)moon, the stars a (Gm)bove and don’t fight (F#)me.

The fun da men tal (Bm)lone li ness goes when ev er (Bb7)two can dream a dream to geth er.

(Gm7)When I saw you (C)first the time was (Am7)half past three.

(Ab)When your eyes met (Bb)mine, it was e (Gm7)ter ni ty.

By now we know the wave is on its way to (Am7)be.

Just catch the (Gmaj7)wave, don’t be a (Gm)fraid of lov ing (F#)me.

The fun da men tal (Bm7)lone li ness goes when ev er (Bb7)two can dream a dream to geth er.
