Dream On You Dream Come True
copyright by Burl Dunn

C Dm G
C     Dm       G G7
When you close your eyes to those starry skies
C         Dm       G G7
When you let go your thoughts and dreams press through
F C
I’d give a fortune to be near
        G CF
To have you here..

C     Bflat       F
And if my mind were a net I’d catch your dreams like butterflies
G   Bflat
I’d study them well, but I wouldn’t tell
F
I’d just look and let ‘em fly away
                       G                                           C      CF
So you could dream them again some other day.

C
And if I find you’re dreamin’ of me
Dm                                GG7
Should I pretend not to see?
      C
Or could I take your dream like a mold
             Dm                                 G
And be reshaped, one you could hold?
       F                                 C                    F                              C F
For years I’ve dreamed of you, so dream on you dream come true
F                   C          F                 C F
Yeah, dream on you dream come true
F         C          F                 C       FCFC

Dream on you dream come true…

I was too shy                                 You were too proud

I never waltzed with you

Ch:
   C                                          G
I wish we had waltzed across Texas

Why did we never dance a jig?    
               D                         A A7
Why did we never shake a leg?

We tap danced around romance   
               A             E          A

Instead of Faded Love
