[Verse 1]
C
Dream, I dream a dream of you
Bb
A tiny dancer in a field of blue
C F
A pointed toe Tchaikovsky play
G C
To bend you down so lowly
C
It's your raven hair that makes me mad
Bb
Your insane eyes that make me sad
C F
The California feeling and the Mississippi smile
G C
That makes me come on slowly
[Chorus]
C G
It's trying to be real cool and soft
Bb F
So I won't take the chance and turn you off
C F
And not to get to know you just because of love
G C
That makes me come on slowly
C G
It isn't that I wouldn't want to make it all come true
Bb F
Oh baby, if I had the chance to be alone with you
C F
It's watching how you operate when the chips are down
G C
That makes me come on slowly
