[🎙️ Verse 1 – 00:11
(C) I caught your eye beneath the (Am) glow of the moon
(F) You were swayin’ so softly, (G) just hummin’ a tune
(C) The world disappeared as you (Am) floated my way
(F) My heart skipped a beat — (G) what more can I say?
[🎶 Chorus – 00:34
(C) Sway in dreams, oh (Am) baby, with me
(F) Just like a record (G) that spins endlessly
(C) Under stars that (Am) shimmer and gleam
(F) Hold me close and (G) sway in dreams
[🌙 Verse 2 – 00:59
(C) We danced by the jukebox, (Am) soft shoes on the floor
(F) The rhythm was vintage, (G) but I wanted more
(C) Your hand in my hand, (Am) your cheek on my chest
(F) Time took a backseat — (G) my heart did the rest
[🎶 Chorus – 01:21
(C) Sway in dreams, like (Am) lovers in flight
(F) You spin me ‘round in the (G) hush of the night
(C) No need to wake from (Am) this sweet moonbeam
(F) Just keep on swayin’, (G) sway in dreams
