Goodbye Little Dream Goodbye
Words & Music by Cole Porter, 1936
Recorded by Susannah McCorkle, 1995
G G9 G Am Am7 Am Cdim Am Am7 Am Am7 Am G
I first knew love's delight when presto, out of the blue,
G Am G Am Cdim G Em7 C Am B7
A dream appeared one night and whispered "How do you do?"
C Em7 Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7 D9 C Em7 Am7 Em7 D9
I knew that I was tempting fate, but I took it straight to my heart;
G G9 G Am Am7 Am Am7 Cdim G
My fears were right, and now we must part
B7 Em C Am B7 Em Am7 B7
Goodbye, little dream, good - bye,
Em Am B7 Em Am B7 Em
You made my romance sublime, now it's time to fly,
B7 G Cdim
For the stars have fled from the heavens,
Em B7 Em
The moon's deserted the hill,
Cdim Em Am Em
And the sultry breeze that sang in the trees
Am7 Am Am7 B7
Is suddenly strangely still.
B7 Em C Am B7 Em Am7 B7
It's done, little dream, it's done,
G G6 G7 Am
So bid me a fond farewell, we both had our fun.
C C/B D7/9 G Am7 G C
Was it Romeo or Juliet who said, when about to die,
Am Am7 Am Am7 Cdim
"Love is not all peaches and cream."
Am7 D7 G
Little dream, goodbye.
