[Intro] C  F  G

                        F        G   C
I've been loving you a long time
                                  F   G   C
Down all the years, down all the days
                               F      G   C
And I've cried for all your troubles
                              F    G   C
Smiled at your funny little ways
                                  F     G   C
We watched our friends grow up together
                        F      G   C
And we saw them as they fell
                        F     G   C
Some of them fell into Heaven
                        F     G   C
Some of them fell into Hell

                        F     G   C
I took shelter from a shower
                         F     G   C
And I stepped into your arms
                     F     G   C
On a rainy night in Soho
                                 F     G   C
The wind was whistling all its charms
                      F     G   C
I sang you all my sorrows
                      F    G   C
You told me all your joys
                           F        G   C
Whatever happened to that old song
                               F    G   C
To all those little girls and boys

                              F    G   C
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
                      F     G   C
The gingerlady by my bed
                        F      G   C
Covered in a cloak of silence
                          F    G   C
I hear you talking in my head
                          F    G   C
I'm not singing for the future
                         F    G   C
I'm not dreaming of the past
                         F        G   C
I'm not talking of the first time
                         F        G   C
I never think about the last

                        F    G   C
Now the song is nearly over
                                F    G   C
We may never find out what it means
                               F        G   C
Still there's a light I hold before me
                           F       
You're the measure of my dreams
        G           C
The measure of my dreams
