Dm7  G  Cm7  F9 
Dm7  G  Cm7  F9 
 
Ebmaj9          Gm7

You entered in

Dm7add11  G  Cm7  F9 
 
Dm7add11   G  Cm7 
I look around 
   F9             Dm7add11 
I feel the same as before 
    G       Cm7 
I'm on the ground 
    F9                     Ab/Bb 
I'm dreaming away, but you know 
Bb7b9     Db/Eb Ab(b5) 
I would trade all of 
   Abmaj7 
My daydreams for 
   Dm7add11   G 
Some    wings 
  Dm7add11      G   Ab13 
A sparrow sings 
 
Dm7add11   G 
The thrill was gone 
    Cm7      F9 
But like the summer 
    Dm7add11 
The spring 
     G             Cm7 
Will bring the dawn 
    F9                   Ab/Bb 
And I'll be singing your song 
Bb7b9  Db/Eb Ab(b5)  Abmaj7 
For a wondrous new change is

Taking me up    to   heav-----en

Streaking like a starship - 
Ebmaj9     Ebmaj7 
Your sweet love - 
                   Gm7 
Brightens the night - 
C9 
Gleaming down on our ship 
Ebmaj9     Ebmaj7 
Your sweet love - 
                   Gm7 
Making me realize 
C9             F7sus4 
That heaven is right 
     F6      C/D 
Here in your eyes 
 
Verse: 2 
Dm7  G  Cm7 
I look     around 
   F9             Dm7 
It's not the same as before

I'm on the ground

Dm7   G  Cm7 
I thank the stars 
   F9             Dm7 
But you know as often

I thank the things you are 
    F9 
And all I offer 
     Ab/Bb          Bb7b9  Db/Eb 
Just longs for that wondrous 
Ab(b5)  Abmaj7 
New change

I found my lucky star

Was gleaming nightly
