MI SI LA DO#m SI
When I was a young man, I found an old dream
MI SI LA DO#m SI
It was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen
MI SI LA DO#m SI
I invented some new wings, and I painted a nose
MI SI LA DO#m LA
I wished so hard, up in the air, I ro-o-ose, singing
MI RE LA MI
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
RE LA MI
Carry me, carry me, carry me
MI SI LA DO#m SI
And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me
MI SI
Her parents kept her locked, up in their lives
LA DO#m SI
And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free
MI SI
Of course I mostly remember her laughing
LA DO#m SI
Standing there and watching us play
MI SI LA DO#m LA
For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing
MI RE LA MI
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world
RE LA MI
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
MI SI LA
Then there was my mother, she was lying in white sheets there
DO#m SI
And she was waiting to die
MI SI LA
She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights
DO#m SI
I could surely fly
MI SI
She's still smiling but she's tired
LA DO#m SI
She'd like to hear that last bell ring
MI SI LA DO#m LA
You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing
MI RE LA MI
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
RE LA RE LA RE LA MI
Carry me, carry me, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
