D                     A  
With life just begun, my sleeping new son
G                              D      A
Has eyes that roll back in his head
D                      A
They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart
G                             D      A
And pictures a world past his bed
Em          A
Its hard to believe
Em             A
As I watch you breathe
Em                   A
Your mind drifts and weaves


D 
When you dream,
                  A
What do you dream about? 
D
When you dream,
                  A
What do you dream about? 


       Em
Do you dream about
         G
Music or mathematics
   D                       A
Or planets too far for the eye? 
       Em
Do you dream about
         G      
Jesus or quantum mechanics
   D               A
Or angels who sing lullabies? 


D                          A
His fontanelle pulses with lives that hes lived
     G                      D        A
With memories hell learn to ignore
D                      A
And when it is closed, he already knows
    G                     D        A
Hes forgotten all he knew before
Em                  A
But when sleep sets in
Em        A
History begins
Em                  A
But the future will win


D 
When you dream,
                  A
What do you dream about? 
D
When you dream,
                  A
What do you dream about? 


         Em           
Are they colour or black and white,
G
Yiddish or english
   D                    A
Or languages not yet conceived? 
         Em 
Are they silent or boisterous? 
G 
Do you hear noises just
D                    A
Loud enough to be perceived? 
       Em                 
Do you hear del shannons 
G
runaway playing
   D                A
On transistor radio waves? 
Em
With so little experience,
G
Your mind not yet cognizant
D                            A
Are you wise beyond your few days? 


D 
When you dream,
                  A
What do you dream about? 
D
When you dream,
                  A
What do you dream about?
