Capo on 1st fret
              
 
 
     F           F6             Fm7         F6 
As a child I was known for make believing 
     F                 Gm 
All alone I created fantasies 
     Gm                               C7 
As I grew people called it self deceiving 
  C7/C#        C7                 F   F6   Fm7 F6 
But my heart helped me hold the memories 
 
 
      F                F6             Fm7       F6 
As, I walk through the world, I find around me 
          F                           Bb 
Something new, yet familiar's in the air 
   C            Am   D7         Gm        C7       Am        D7 
I feel it everywhere, like a child's eyes on a Christmas night 
      Gm               C                        D      Dm7 D 
I'm lookin' at you now, finding answers to my prayers 
 
 
                      Em                  A 
It's a new day for those good old dreams 
                             D           D7 
One by one it seems they're comin' true 
                            Em            A 
Here's the morning that my heart had seen 
                             D            
Here's the morning that just had to come through 
 
 
                            Em            A 
Same old stage but what a change of scene 
                        D         D7 
No more dark horizons, only blue 
                          Em              A 
It's a new day for those good old dreams 
                          F          F6  Fm7 F6 
All my life I dreamed of lovin' you 
 
 
          F         F6             Fm7   F6 
You're a spark of a long forgotten fire 
          F                         Gm   C7 
You're a touch of a slowly growing wind 
          Gm                             C7 
You're a taste of the ever changing seasons 
         C7/C#             C7                F  F6  Fm7  F6 
Telling me there are some things that don't end 
 
 
         F             F6           Fm7       F6 
We have left all the darkness far behind us 
           F                            Bb 
All those hopes that we held along the way 
      C               Am D7        Gm           C7        Am        D7 
Have made it to this day, like an old love song gone for much too long 
       Gm            C7                    D    Dm7 D 
You hear it once again and it carries you away 
 
                          Em            A7 
It's a new day for those good old dreams 
                              D          D7 
One by one it seems they're comin' true 
                           Em            A7 
Here's the morning that my heart had seen 
                             D 
Here's the morning that just had to come through 
 
 
                           Em             A7 
Same old stage but what a change of scene 
                        D        D7 
No more dark horizons, only blue 
                          Em             A7 
It's a new day for those good old dreams 
                             D   D7  B7 
All my life I dreamed of you 
                          Em             A 
It's a new day for those good old dreams  
                          D    (F F6 Fm7 F6)  
And it's all because of you
