GUITAR I
Em
One cold damp evening
C
The world stood still
Am D
I watched as I held my breath
Em C
A silhouette I thought I knew
Am
Came through
D
And someone spoke to me
Em C
Whispered in my ear
Am
This fantasy's for you
D Em
Fantasies are "in" this year

VERSE 2
--------------------------------------------------
GUITAR I
Em C
My whole life flashed before my eyes
Am
I thought
D
What they say is true
Em C
I shed my skin and my disguise
Am D
And cold, numb and naked
Em
I emerged from my cocoon
C Am
While a half remembered tune
D Em
Played softly in my head
He said

I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

It's like you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is
Or when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is
Well you reach the point where you know it's
only your second skin
It's only your second skin
