The bEent twig of dEm/Garkness
Grows the pB7etals of the mEorning
It shEows to them the Em/Gbirds singing
JB7ust behind the dEawning
Come E7dip into the clAoud cream lappEing
I cEan't keep my Em/Ghand on the plB7ough
Because it's dB7ying
But EI will lay me dAown with my B7arms
Round a raEinbow
And EI will lay me Em/Gdown to drEeamB7  E  B7  
Oh, wEill your magic
ChrAistmas tree be shiniB7ng
GentEly B7all arEound?
ClEimbing up these fEm/Gigures
The sun is tB7ugging at my shEoulder
And eEvery step I Em/Gtake
I think, my fB7eet are getting oElder
I E7see the crystal drAeams unfoldEing
I cEan't keep my Em/Geyes on the bB7ook
Because it's mouldB7ering
But EI will lay me dAown with my B7arms
Round a raEinbow
And EI will lay me Em/Gdown to drEeamB7  E  B7  
Oh, wEill your magic

E Em/G

The bent twig of darkness

B7 E

Grows the petals of the morning

E Em/G

It shows to them the birds singing

B7 E

Just behind the dawning

E7 A E

Come dip into the cloud cream lapping

E Em/G B7

I can't keep my hand on the plough

Because it's dying

E A B7

But I will lay me down with my arms

Round a rainbow

E Em/G E B7 E B7

And I will lay me down to dream

Oh, will your magic

A B7

Christmas tree be shining

E B7 E

Gently all around?

E Em/G

Climbing up these figures

B7 E

The sun is tugging at my shoulder

E Em/G

And every step I take

B7 E

I think, my feet are getting older

E7 A E

I see the crystal dreams unfolding

E Em/G B7

I can't keep my eyes on the book

Because it's mouldering

E A B7

But I will lay me down with my arms

Round a rainbow

E Em/G E B7 E B7

And I will lay me down to dream

Oh, will your magic

A B7

Christmas tree be shining

E B7 E

Gently all around?
