[Verse 1]
G                        D
There you stand in your dungarees
Em                              D
Looking all grown up and so very pleased
G                           D
When you write your poems they have so much to say
Em                            D
When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away

[Pre-chorus 1]
                 C
You know I want to be a ball player
G           D/A        Em          Em7
A regular slugging fool
C                       D
But both our dreams must wait awhile
C               D                   G
Until we finish school

[Chorus]
D                     G
And so you and I
                  C
We watch our years go by
                  D
We watch our sweet dreams fly
Em                Bm                Am
Far away, but maybe someday

                G             
I don't know when
                C
But we will dream again
                  D
And we'll be happy then
Em            Bm           Am               D
Till our time just drifts away

[Verse 2]
G                           D
There you stand in your wedding dress
Em                      D
You're so beautiful that I must confess
G                 D
I'm so proud you have chosen me
Em                                            D
When a doctor is what you want to be

[Pre-chorus 2]
                 C                          
You know I want to be a painter, girl
G            D            Em           Em7
A real artistic snob
C                    D
But I guess we'll have our children first
C                   D                G
You'll make a home, I'll get a job

[Chorus]
D                         G
And so you and I
                     C
We'll watch our years go by
               D
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
Em                    Bm              Am
Far away, but maybe someday

                     G
I don't know when
               C
But we will dream again
                D
And we'll be happy then
Em             Bm          Am             D
Till our time just drifts away

[Refrain]
Em                  D
Listen to the seasons passing
Cadd9                      Cmaj7
Listen to the wind blow
Em                     D
Listen to the children laughing
Cmaj7               C                       D
Where do broken dreams go?

[Verse 3]
G                             D
There you stand in your tailored suit
Em                      D
So many years gone by, but you're still so cute
G                    D
We take the car to go and meet the bus
Em                                      D
When our grandchildren come to visit us

[Pre-chorus 3]
                C
You say you should have been a ballerina, babe
G           D               Em               Em7
There are songs I should have sung
C                   D
But I guess our dreams have come and gone
C                      D        G
You've gotta dream when you are young

[Chorus]
D                  G
And so you and I
                  C
We've watched our years go by
                  D
We've watched our sweet dreams fly
Em               Bm                 Am
Far away, but maybe someday

            G
I don't know when
               C
But we will dream again
                      D
And we'll be happy then
Em            Bm          Am             D
Till our time just drifts away
