Less Than the Song
words and music by Hoyt Axton
I am lesEs than the song I am singingA  E  
I am Amore than I thought I could Ebe
Spent some Etime as a child in daydreamin’A  E  
As a Ayoung man I sailed on the Esea
Then come Estand by my side where I’m goin’A  E  
Take my Ahand if I stumble and Efall
It’s the stErength that you share when you’re growinA’E  
That gives Ame what I need most of allE  
That gives Eme what I need Amost of Eall
DifferenEt minds, different Achanges, 
DifferenEt reasons to belAieve
Some far Ejourneys we have Ataken, 
Some Esweet dreams we’ve had to Bleave.
And I Ewant you to be Ahappy
And I Ehope you always Awill
For EI cannot rest Aeasy
‘Til Aall your dreams are F#real
‘Til Aall your dreams are Ereal
EAll your dreams are real, pretty mama
EAll your dreams are real
EAll dreams are real, sweet mama
EAll your dreams are real
(Repeat)
(Repeat 1st verse)
