Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am-D-G-C
With gossamer wings, she flies so high,
In the realm of dreams, beneath the twilight sky.
A sprinkle of stardust, and a whispering wind,
In her magical world, where our hopes begin.

(Chorus)
Em-D-C-G
Fly with me, on gossamer wings,
Through starlit nights and daylight springs.
We’ll taste the magic, the fairy sings,
In our hearts, her joy she brings.

(Verse 2)
Am-D-G-C
Through emerald forests, and riverside dreams,
Under moonbeams silver, and sunsets of creams.
With gossamer wings, we glide so free,
In the land of fairy, where we long to be.

(Chorus)
Em-D-C-G
Come with me, on gossamer wings,
Where the melody of magic rings.
In the dance of light, the fairy sings,
With gossamer wings, we’re queens and kings.
