	        Dm                Gm6  
Time was I had a dream   
    A                                Dm  
The sky was so blue, the meadow so green   
  Gm6                     Dm   
A time in the fire of my youth   
  Bb                                                 A   
A time when a dreamer had time for a dream to come true   

        D     F#  G          A              D    F# G  A   
Oh, but time is a handful of sand to an old man   
      D     F#  G             A           Bm        
While time is a warm place to stand for a young man   
   E7                   G          C            A        
To stand any man with a young girl watching the tide roll in   

Time was I had a dream   
Certain and sure I could do anything   
A time so long ago Once I knew   
A place in my heart where a dream would come true   

Oh time is a rock and roll band to a young man   
While time is a warm loving hand to an old man   
A strong loving shoulder to lean on and watch the children at play   

D     F#  G A       D    F# G  A  
Time was    I had a dream   
D     F#  G A       D    F# G  A  
Time was    I had a dream   
Bm                              G  
My dream was to stand here and sing   
D              Em   G  A  
Stand here and sing   

Dm           Gm6  
  I have had mountains and mountains  
              A                 Dm   
And mountains in the palm of my hand
