Intro:
Em Bm C Em B
 
Em Bm
Through these eyes I have seen the world
C B
Lived my dreams in a thousend ways
Em Bm
With my treasures and my memories
C B
Now I wait for the end of days
 
G D
A rose that is old and dry
Am Em
And a mirror that's broken
C G D
But through these eyes they come to life again
 
G C G
And then the rose begins to bloom and shine again
D
I must be dreaming
G C G
And in the mirror there is a face, I'm young again
D
I must be dreaming
C D
Through these eyes
 
Em Bm
Through these eyes I have seen so much
C B
In a changing world that is made for the young
Em Bm
And not for the ones who are left behind
C B
I still have my photographs
 
G D
Of where we would laugh and run
Am Em
Now almost forgotten
C G D
But through the darkness I can see a light
 
G C
And then the sun begins to shine
G
I see my friends
D
I must be dreaming

They're reaching out to hold my hand
G
We're young again
D
I must be dreaming
C D
Through these eyes
