F#                  D
there's an emerald sky
        G            C#
silver birds flying by
F#                 D
purple trees all around
         G           C#
velvet grass on the ground

B            B7           E          Em      B
then I see a face of the girl who's calling me
B                  B7            E        Em     C#
and love is in my eyes for this girl was just a dream

Chorus:
F#       B           C#
when I awake she is gone
    F#        B   C#
and I return to reality
F#       B           C#
when I awake she is gone
   F#                 B      C#
because it's just a dream a fantasy

Then the morning light
Slowly flows into night
And I close my eyes
And reality dies

Again I see the face of the girl who's calling me
And now she's in my arms but this love can never be

Chorus:
When I awake she is gone
And I return to reality
When I awake she is gone
Because it's just a dream, a fantasy

Again I see the face of the girl who's calling me
And now she's in my arms but this love can never be

Chorus:
When I awake she is gone
And I return to reality
When I awake she is gone
Because it's just a dream, a fantasy
When I awake.......
