Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am]Walking down the street, with [G]dreams in my feet,
[Dm]Underneath the moon’s [Am]mysterious beat.
[F]Strawberry fields of [C]reality,
[G]Wrapped up in layers of [Am]fantasy.
(Chorus)
[Am]Dance with me, in the [G]sea of dreams,
[Dm]Where everything is not what it [Am]seems.
[F]Hold my hand, under the [C]midnight sky,
[G]In our strawberry fields, we’ll [Am]fly.
(Verse 2)
[Am]Through the whispers of the [G]breeze, and the [Dm]rustling leaves,
[Am]We feel the world, as our [F]heartbeat weaves.
[C]Strawberry fields of [G]reality,
[Am]Become our own personal [E]galaxy.
(Chorus)
[Am]Dance with me, in the [G]sea of dreams,
[Dm]Where everything is not what it [Am]seems.
[F]Hold my hand, under the [C]midnight sky,
[G]In our strawberry fields, we’ll [Am]fly.
