A G D
Roses float across the water
A G D
And the ice is slowly melting next to you
A G D A G D
In our hideout down by the boathouse, lonely days are through
F#m B
'Cause when you walked into that room
E
I've never seen two eyes so blue
CHORUS
A G D A G D
Sweet dreams Melinda, the summer days we knew
A G D A G D (repeat intro)
Laughing down by the water, sweet dreams to you
VERSE 2
Went from Charlotte all the way to Savannah
Laughing, your feet up on the dash
Stumbled through the yellow lights of Toledo
And the rain was falling fast
Flew from Boston down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
In a dream above the clouds, In a dream above the clouds
CHORUS
Sweet dreams Melinda, when summer days are through
I'll think of you on those long lonely nights Sweet dreams to you
INTERLUDE
Bm Bm/A Bm/Ab
And time after time,
F#m F#m/E F#m/Eb
I go back to that morning
Bm Bm/A G D
And the water's so fine, sweet dreams Melinda
