[Verse 1]
ALong
And Elonely Anights
I've Dwaited for you Ato put thEings to Arights
DLeaving you to Edo
Your thing witDhout
Disturbance from Ame
Somehow I Edoubt you'll ever be
[Verse 2]
ABack
I'll Ekeep your Athings
If Dyou ever nAeed them, the Ephone still Arings
And Dnow that you're Efree
Of me at Dlast
Your time is your Aown
Go have a Eblast
[Chorus]
And I'll dream aAlone without you;
I'll dream F#malone if I Dmust;
Because I gEuess our little Dcastle in the C#msky
Just turned to Bmdust
So IE'll dream alAone: that's showbiz
I'll dream aF#mlone from here Din
And I'll be Etrying not to Ddream of what was C#monce and might have Bmbeen
If only I'd Eknown
I'll dream F#malone
[Verse 3]
ADreams
We Ehad a Afew
But Dwhat kind of Adream beats you Eblack and Ablue?
I wDanted to sEcream, "Don't go Daway!"
But nothing came Aout
All I could sEay is
[Chorus]
I'll dream Aalone without you;
I'll dream F#malone if I Dmust;
Because I gEuess our little Dcastle in the C#msky
Just turned to Bmdust
So IE'll dream alAone: that's showbiz
I'll dream aF#mlone from here Din
And I'll be Etrying not to Ddream of what was C#monce and might have Bmbeen
If only I'd Eknown
I'll dream F#malone

[Verse 1]

Long

E A

And lonely nights

D A E A

I've waited for you to put things to rights

D E

Leaving you to do

Your thing without

Disturbance from me

Somehow I doubt you'll ever be

[Verse 2]

Back

E A

I'll keep your things

D A E A

If you ever need them, the phone still rings

D E

And now that you're free

Of me at last

Your time is your own

Go have a blast

[Chorus]

And I'll dream alone without you;

F#m D

I'll dream alone if I must;

E D C#m

Because I guess our little castle in the sky

Just turned to dust

E A

So I'll dream alone: that's showbiz

F#m D

I'll dream alone from here in

E D C#m Bm

And I'll be trying not to dream of what was once and might have been

If only I'd known

F#m

I'll dream alone

[Verse 3]

Dreams

E A

We had a few

D A E A

But what kind of dream beats you black and blue?

D E D

I wanted to scream, "Don't go away!"

But nothing came out

All I could say is

[Chorus]

I'll dream alone without you;

F#m D

I'll dream alone if I must;

E D C#m

Because I guess our little castle in the sky

Just turned to dust

E A

So I'll dream alone: that's showbiz

F#m D

I'll dream alone from here in

E D C#m Bm

And I'll be trying not to dream of what was once and might have been

If only I'd known

I'll dream alone
