Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1958


D     Dalt    D9          Em7        B7
I can  see a steeple, surrounded by people -

Bm     F#7     Bm   F#7      Cdim
Oh how real it all starts to seem.

 G  G/F#    Cdim Edim A7/6   A7   D    G    F#m    Bm
Just as the choir is  sing - ing, my alarm starts ringing.

          G   Em7   A7
It's the same old dream.


      D       Dalt      D9     Em7          B7
And then my thoughts inspire a scene by the fire,

Bm     F#7   Bm   F#7    Cdim
In a cottage close by a stream.

G  G/F#  Cdim Edim A7/6   A7   D      G       F#m   Bm
I know it all  by  heart now - we're about to part now.

          G   Edim  D
It's the same old dream.


    D       D7            Am7  D9    D7   D   D7   G       D7/9
If you but knew how many times I pretend that I'm with you

    Cdim        G   Am7  Cdim   G
I'm sure your heart would un - bend.

      Am7      B7     Cdim     B7  Gdim  E7/9   E7 A7/6  A7
You'd see me through until my dream had a hap - py end - ing


    D     Dalt     D9     A7   Em7           B7
And I can picture clearly the things I love dearly -

Bm     F#7       Bm   F#7    Cdim
In the cen - ter you reign supreme.

   G       G/F#    Cdim   A7      D     G      F#m   Bm
We kiss and I dis - cov - er that I'm a lone - some lover.

          G   Edim  D
It's the same old dream.

(Musical Interlude - first two lines of last verse)

   G       G/F#    Cdim   A7      D     G      F#m   Bm
We kiss and I dis - cov - er that I'm a lone - some lover.

          G   Edim  D
It's the same old dream.
