“Dreams in Daylight”
Full song lyrics:
Verse 1:
[C] Woke up this morning, [Am] a new dawn in sight,
[F] Chasing paper dreams, [G] under the soft daylight,
[C] Painted memories, [Am] inside my mind,
[F] Holding onto hope, [G] leaving fears behind.
Chorus:
[C] Dreams in daylight, [Am] whispers in the night,
[G] We’re running, we’re chasing, [F] holding onto life,
[C] We’ll dance on the moonbeams, [Am] beneath the starry light,
[G] With Sleepy Smiles, we’re living, [F] turning dreams into life.
Verse 2:
[C] A world full of wonder, [Am] waiting to be found,
[F] We’ll make our own path, [G] on this sacred ground,
[C] With a sleepy smile, [Am] we’ll chase the sun,
[F] Embrace the journey, [G] it’s only just begun.
(Repeat Chorus)
