Sonnys Dream

C
Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open
 space
Where you can take off your sneakers
     F           C
 and give up the race
          G
You could lay down your head by a 
sweet river bed
          F                        
But Sonny always remembers what it 
             C   G
was his Mama said



              C
Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all
 alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never
F           C
 comes home
             G
And the nights get so long and the 
silence goes on
             F                     
And I'm feeling so tired I'm not 
             C    G
all that strong



     C
Sonny carries a load though he's 
barely a man
                                 F 
There ain't all that to do still he
             C
 does what he can
       G
And he watches the sea from a room 
by the stairs

       F                     
And the waves keep on rollin' 
              C          G
they've done that for years



           C
Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all
 alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never
F           C
 comes home
             G
And the nights get so long and the 
silence goes on
             F                     
And I'm feeling so tired I'm not 
            C    G
all that strong



        C
And it's a hundred miles to town 
Sonny's never been there
And he goes to the highway and 
      F            C
stands there and stares
         G
And the mail comes at four and the 
mailman is old
         F                       
Oh but he still dreams his dreams 
               C      G
full of silver and gold


           C
Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all
 alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never
F           C
 comes home
             G
And the nights get so long and the 
silence goes on
             F                     
And I'm feeling so tired I'm not 
             C    G
all that strong



        C
Sonny's dreams can't be real they're
 just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes 
               F              C
they're just dreams in his head
           G
And he's hungry inside for the wide 
world outside
        F                          
And I know I can't hold him though 
        C             G
I've tried and I've tried



           C
Oh Sonny don't go away I am here all
 alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never
F           C
 comes home
             G
And the nights get so long and the 
silence goes on
             F                     
And I'm feeling so tired I'm not 
             C    G
all that strong
