Em
Beneath the stars, the shining moon --
   Am
My closing eyes see skies of blue.
    Em
And sweet perfume of flowers' bloom,
B7
Drifts through the dream I dream of you.
Em                          
But then I wake and morning takes
Am                    Em
my sweet green love away.
Em        B7
my love away.
B7   Em
love away.

    Em
And as I rise, my hopes have died. . . .
  Am
Before my eyes are burning skies
  Em
A world of brown without a sound
B7
Save for my lonely lullabies.

   Em
As days go by, I long to sleep 
    Am
And so to dream, and soon it seems,
Em
I'll wake no more.
             B7
I'll wake no more.
        Em
wake no more.

    Em
And in the dark, the endless dark,
     Am
Will be my heart
Em
With dreams
               B7
With dreams of green
               Em
With dreams of green
