Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

Verse 1:
[Am] In this city of lights, [G] lost in the crowd,
[F] You and I, we’re just [C] dreamers aloud.
[Am] With a pocket full of dreams, [G] and a heart that beats,
[F] In the rhythm of the city’s [C] streets.

Chorus:
[Am] Here’s to the candy-coated [G] dreams,
[F] The joy, the laughter, and [C] tears it seems.
[Am] Here’s to the night’s sparkling [G] gleam,
[F] To the love, to the life, to the [C] candy-coated dreams.

Verse 2:
[Am] As the city sleeps, [G] under the moon’s glow,
[F] We dance, we sing, we [C] let ourselves go.
[Am] With a song in our hearts, [G] and stars in our eyes,
[F] We’re living in a dreamer’s [C] disguise.
