I Dreamed Of My Old Lover

C            G      F        C
I dreamed of my old lover last night
  F      Am   Dm        C
I wonder if I spoke out loud
G    Dm         F      Am
If by chance my husband overheard
     F      Am        Dm     C
He'd put my face back in the crowd


C             G         F       C
His eyes were clear and gentle then
    F         Am      Dm      C
He'd kiss the worries from my brow
  G      Dm       F     Am
I long to fall to sleep again
 F           Am      Dm        C
And I wonder how he would look now


C              G              F      C
Would our kids grow stubborn or grow strong
     F             Am           Dm      C
Would their limbs bronze insult to the sun
G        Dm     F         Am
I wonder how it feels but then
 F       Am      Dm    C
I rarely dream of anyone


      E         Am        G       C
In the songs of shame and tales of dread
         F         Am      Dm        C
Where they seal the lovers lips with lead
  E       Am           G             C
And all the vines wind through their eyes


F
But no one knows this passion now
Dm
No one knows this passion now


C            G      F    C
So I keep this fancy to myself
  F        Am      Dm       C
I keep my lipstick twisted tight
G  Dm             F     Am
I long to fall to sleep again
      F           Am    Dm      C
'Cos I dreamed of my old lover last night
