#1. 
Ab
Just a dream, just a dream,
                          Eb
all our plans and all our schemes.
Eb
How could I think you'd be mine?
                            Ab
The lies I tell myself each time.

#2.
Ab
I know that we could never last.
                              Eb
We just can't seem to, in the past.
Eb
Just a dream I dream in vain,
                          Ab Ab7
With you I'd only live in pain.

CHORUS:
     C#
Your picture, is always with me.
      Ab
I can still hear that same mournful song.
    C#                      Bb                Eb  Eb7
And now, I sit here crying..please, leave me alone.

#3.
Eb7           Ab
Why, why do I love you?
                         Eb
How can I live in miser..y?
Eb
I know that I won't forget you,
                                  Ab C# Ab7
but now I know, it's too late for me.

CHORUS:
     C#
Your picture, is always with me.

I can still hear that same mournful song.
    C#                      Bb                Eb  Eb7
And now, I sit here crying..please, leave me alone.
