by Neil Diamond, from the album Serenade
(intro) F G C F C G7 C
F G C
Songs___ to make you free,
F G C
And songs that take you to an - other time,
F G7 C
forgotten reasons that are made of rhyme;
F
for you and me
C G7 C
the songs of life that somehow make us free.
F G7 C
Then wake the sleeping child
F G7 C
and let me sing to you of other times,
F G7 C
and let me make your dreams as sweet as mine,
F C
and I will bring______ the gift of song
G7 C
that only makes us free.
F G C
(And) songs__ to fill the heart.
F G C
Like quiet candles on a winter's night
F G7 C
they touch the spac-es__ that lies 'tween you and I;
F C G7
and I will sing the songs of love
C
that speak to you and me.
F G7 C
Then wake the sleeping child
F G7 C
and let me sing to you of other times,
F G7 C
and let me make your dreams as sweet as mine,
F C
and I will bring______ the gift of song
G7 C
that only makes us free.
