You sit with the man
C G
who threw it all away
G G
and you dream of the birds
C G
that have flown away
Em D G
and you hope that you won't see it fall
Am D
again
G
And you will sing day by day
C G Am
old joy comes back to me,
G
you'll sing day by day
C G Am
old joy comes back to me

G G
You say this is the line
C G
of the influence of dreams,
G G
tall buildings and a wife
C G
won't be enough for me,
Em D G
There is more in the world to be found
Am D
than dreams
G
And you sing day by day
C G Am
old joy comes back to me
G
you sing day by day
C G Am
old joy comes back to me
G D C
Forget the things that get away
G D C
forget the things that get away
G D C
don't dream of yesterday
G D C
don't dream of yesterday
