Some - where, some - day,
A7 G/B Edim Gdim D
We'll be close to - geth - er, wait and see;
Dm Bm7-5 C#7 F#7 D E7/6 E7 D9 Fdim AM7 F#7 D9
Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me.

To see you through
Bm7 E7-9 Cdim AM7 F#m
Till you're everything you want to be;

It can't be true, but this time the dream's on me.
