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
