  			                          F  C 
The river runs through the valley 
    F/A         G/B    C 
The sheep graze on the hill 
                     F         C 
The sun so high in a boundless sky 
       F        Dm     G/B 
Shines down the day, until 
    Am                 G/B      C 
The night declares the watchful moon 
   F                 G/B 
To guard us from all ill 
                 C      G            Am      F 
You believe your dreams, it's just a fantasy 
         C              G     C 
A secret world that can never be 

Verse 
                     F    C 
A sprite of Nature's mystery 
     F/A    G/B        C 
From silver clouds she sends 
                                F       C 
A whispering breeze through the dancing trees 
     F          Dm C  G/B 
In a dance that never ends 
   Am                    G/B    C 
At close of day, through golden rains 
     F            G/B 
This kingdom, he ascends 
                 C     G            Am      F 
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy 
         C              G     C 
A secret world that can never be 

Pre-Chorus 
      Dm          C        F 
While even as the earth is turning 
          Bb     F         C  F 
Something deep inside it's furnace 
        Dm         C      F 
Nothing comes from softly yearning 
Bb      F       C 
Here at wishing time...

Be careful what you wish for 
G                            C 
Dreams look different in the light of day

Be careful what you wish for 
     G              C 
That deep desire to have your way 
      D                            G G/F G/E G 
Could burn you, and turn you head around... 

Verse 
     C                F       C 
Come walking from the dawn of time 
    F/A      G/B     C 
The winds of change arise 
                      F         C 
With angels cheering, cheer for you 
        F       Dm        G/B 
And the foolish mound may rise 
    Am                G/B    C 
The fool and all, all reason mouth 
F               G/B 
Singing as they rise 
                C      G            Am      F 
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy

A secret world that can never be

Something deep inside it's furnace

Nothing comes from softly yearning 
Bb      F       C 
Here at wishing time...

Could burn you, and turn you head around... 

Verse 
       C             F     C 
In the fairy forest, I was lost 
      F/A       G/B     C 
While searching for the gold 
                      F    C 
With hopes of joy and happiness 
   F      Dm      G/B 
If riches I could hold 
     Am                  G/B     C 
I've lived in dreams for far too long 
    F               G/B 
And now I'm growing old 
              C      G            Am      F 
Keep it in my dreams, it's just a fantasy

A secret world that can never be
