Verse:
[G]Sleeping in a cherry tree, [E7]High above a monastery
[Am]Where the bells are ringing slow, to [D7]say farewell when hours go.
[G]And all the while I'm dreaming of the[E7] ballad for my one true love
[Am]Searching for the perfect way to [D7]say I love you.
Chorus:
[G]Sweetheart, [C]this is my [G]dream come [C]truuuuue
God bless the babies that sleep in you
