To follow where you are

I'm wishing on a dream
Dm7 Dm Dm7
To follow what it means
Em7 Dm7
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
Em7 Dm7
I wish on all the people who really dream
Em7 Dm7
And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying it'll come
Em7 Dm7
And I'm wishing on all the loving, we've ever done
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
Just think of all the moments that we spent
I just can't let you go for me you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know
That in the game of loving we were just so
Dm7 Em7
I feel it's time we should make up, baby
Dm7 Em7
I feel it's time for us to get back together
F
And make the best of things, oh baby
G F
When we're together
G F
Yeah, whether or never
Am
I'm wishing on a star
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying it'll come
And I'm wishing on all the loving, we've ever done
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
I'm wishing on a star

High tide, mid-afternoon,
Dm7 Dm7b5 Am
People fly by, in the traffic's boom.
Am Am9
Knowing, just where you're blowing,
Dm7 Dm7b5 Am
Getting to where you should be going.
Don't let them get you down,
Making you feel guilty about.
Golden rain will bring you riches,
All the good things you deserve now.
Climbing, forever trying,
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood.
Now there's no justice,
You've only yourself that you can trust in. And I said:
High tide, mid-afternoon,
Woah, people fly by in the traffic's boom.
Knowing, just where you're blowing,
Getting to where you should be going.
Day by day, your world fades away,
Waiting to feel all the dreams that say.
Golden rain will bring you riches,
All the good things you deserve now. And I say,
Climbing, forever trying,
You're gonna find you're way out of the wild, wild wood.
Said you're gonna find you're way out of the wild, wild wood.

Everybody, let me tell you 'bout my love
Brought to me, by an angel from above
Full equipped, with a life time guarantee
Once you try it, well I'm sure that you will be
Without love, there's no reason to live
Without you, what would I do with the love I give
All my lovin', to you I'll be giving

And I promise, as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
All the times, you make me glad taht I'm alive
Sharing together, helping me survive
What did you think, brought the sun out today
Well it's you, let me hear you sing
Without love, there's no reason to live
Without you, what would I do with the love I give
All my lovin', to you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
Without love (and the things you do to me)
Without you (now I'm living in ecstasy)
I'm thinking of you, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
Oh, I'm thinking of you-ou-ou-ou, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you, and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
