    I have dreams of summer  skies

                                      | C/G
Close my eyes and think of things that  make me glad

| F                | C/G          | F
    Don't see why I  should be sad

     | C/G       | F                   | C/G
Every  day, yeah,    watch the sun turn  red and green

    All I've seen is  you

A     x02220


| Em              | A
     I watch every  sunrise,

| Em           | A
     Hear music  change in pitch,

| Em              | A
     Hear whispers  on the stage,

| Em
     I'm just watching from my cage

  Every evening finds its  wings,

                                      | C/G
Pretty things sound, dancing sounds of  summer rain,

| F                 | C/G          | F
    Takes me off the  ground again,  makes me high,

| F                   | C/G        | F#dim             | C/G  A - D
    Don't have time to  sit around,  might come down to  you.
