C                       F      G
I've been loving you a long time
C                                 F  G
Down all the years, down all the days
C                             F     G
And I've cried for all your troubles
C                            F  G
Smiled at your funny little ways

We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell

I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms

I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you talking in my head

I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first time
I never think about the last

Now this song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams,
the measure of my dreams

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you talking in my head

I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first time
I never think about the last

Now this song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams,
the measure of my dreams
