Artist: John Denver
Song: On the Wings of a Dream

[Intro]
C C G D7

[Verse 1]
G D G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
Bm D G
About laying to rest and then flying
C G D G D7
How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own
G D G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
Bm D G
After all has been said and is done for
C G D G
Why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone?

[Chorus]
C G
Is this life just a path to the place that we all have come from?
C G
Does the heart know the way and if not, can it ever be found?
C G D C C G D7
In a smile or a tear or a prayer or a sigh or a song?

[Verse 2]
G D G
And if so, then I sing for my father
Bm D G
And in truth you must know I would rather
C G D G D7
He were here by my side; we could fly on the wings of a dream
G D G
To a place where the spirit would find us
Bm D G
And in joy and surrender would bind us
C G D G
We are one anyway, anyway we are more than we seem

[Chorus]
C G
There are those who will lead us, protect us each step of the way
C G
From beginning to end, for each moment, forever, each day
C G D C C G D7
Such a gift has been given, it can never be taken away

[Instrumental]
G D G Bm D G C G D G D7

[Verse 3]
G D G
Though the body in passing must leave us
Bm D G
There is one who remains to receive us
C G D G D7
There are those in this life who are friends from our heavenly home
G D G
So I listen to the voices inside me
Bm D G
For I know they are there just to guide me
C G D G
And my faith would proclaim it is so, we are never alone

[Chorus]
C G
From the life to the light, from the dark of the night to the dawn
C G
He is so in my heart, he is here, he could never be gone
C G D C C G D7
Though the singer is silent, there still is the truth of the song. . .in the song

[Verse 4]
G D G
Yesterday I had a dream about dying
Bm D G
About laying to rest and then flying
C G D G D7
How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own
G D G
And I lay in my bed and I wondered
Bm D G
After all has been said and is done for
C G D G
Why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone?
C G D7 G
Oh, why is it thus we are here and so soon we are gone?
