_ _ One, two, _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [E] _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ three.
_ _ [N] Did I write that?
_ Christ, it sounds like the theme from Godfather 2. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Okay.
_ _ _ Listen, if you count [E] really extra fantastic, [N] maybe we can get through that lame piece of music that starts this song, okay?
Did he start the song yet?
Okay, so just count with so much energy that it will get us through those next [F] two bars.
Are you ready?
You've got to really blow the house down.

[Dm] Looking all grown up [C] and severically
_ [F] When you write your poem, they have so [C] much to say
[Dm] When you speak your dreams, it [C] takes my breath away
[Bb] You know I want to be a ball _ player
[F] A regular [Am] [Dm] sluggin' fool
_ [Bb] But I guess our dreams [C] must wait a while
_ [Bb] Until [C] we finish [F] _
school
_ _ _ And [Bb] so you [F] and I
We watched [Bb] our _ years grow by
We watched [C] our sweet dreams fly
[Dm] Far away, far away
[Am] But maybe [Gm] _ [F] someday I don't know when

dream _ again
_ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ Till [Dm] our time _ [Am] just [Gm] drifts away
[C] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] There you stand in [C] your wedding dress

[Em] And [Bb] so you _ [F] and I
We [Bb] watched our years grow by

[Gm] _ [Bbm] _ [Dm] _ Listen to [F] the seasons passing

_ _ Listen [Dm] _ _
to [Am] the children laughing
[G] Where do [Bb] broken _ _ _ [C] dreams [Em] go?
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] There you stand in [C] your tailored [Am] suit
So [Dm] many years gone by [C] but you're still so cute
[F] You'd make the car to [C] go and beat the bus
[Dm] When our grandchildren [C] come to visit us
[Bb] And you say you should have been a ballerina babe
[F] There are [Am] songs I [Dm] should have sung
_ [Bb] But I guess our dreams [C] have come and gone
[Bb] You're supposed to dream [C] when you [F] are young
_ _ _ _ [Bb] And so you _ [F] and I
We watched [Bb] our _ years grow by
We watched [C] our sweet dreams fly
[Am] _ [Dm] Far away, far away
[Am] But maybe [Gm] _ [Bb] someday I _

But we [Bb] will dream _ again
And we'll [C] be happy, happy, happy then
Till [Dm] our time _ [Am] just drifts [Gm] away
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
