I'm afraid my heart    isn't very sma-a-a-a-art.

Fly while your still have your wings

Foolish as it seems
I still have my dre-e-e-e-e-eams

Chorus:
Fm7                   Cmaj7               F/G
    So I keep hoping, day after day, as I wait for the man,
    Cmaj7                  F/G                      Cmaj7
And night after night as I wish for a love that can be
N.C.                 Cmaj7                  F/G
Though I'm sure that no one can tell when a wish is a hope,
Cmaj7                   F/G                   Abmaj7
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me.


N.C          Cmaj7                          F/G
When someone walks in your life, you'd just better be sure he's right.
 Cmaj7                           F/G                           Cmaj7
'Cause if he's wrong there's are heartaches and tears you must fa-a-a-ace.
N.C               Cmaj7                      F/G
Keep both of your eyes on the door and never let it get out of sight
Cmaj7                     F/G                       Abmaj7
Just be prepared when the time comes and you went a wa-a-a-a-y

Fmaj7         G/F            Em7
Sail when the wind starts to blow
Fmaj7      G/F   Em7
But like a fool  I don't knoo-o-ow
Db/Eb
whe-e-e-en
Bb/C
to-o-o-o-o
Gbmaj7         Eb
lee-e-e-e-ee   e-e-e-e-e-ave.
