The castles we built of dreams together

Were the sweetest stories ever told

Maybe we'll live them all again

And my blue moon again will turn to gold

when the rainbow turns the clouds away
                                G7
When my blue moon turns to gold again
F      G7                        C
You'll be back within my arms to stay
