[Verse]
        G
Does he call you through the darkness from a thousand miles away
              C
Through those sleepless nights of waiting, 'til the night grows into day
        G
Does he tell you how his colours are fading into grey
          C                                          G      C
When he's too far in the distance, too long and far away

[Verse]
        G
When he comes home from the service, can you see it in his eyes
         C
How he's burning from the heat of a thousand hidden fires
            G
And does he take you in a moment, 'til you know your spirit flies
    C                                                      G      C
And sing you through the moonlight, 'til the sun is on the rise

[Chorus]
        F
Does he come to you in dreams, that travel through the times
C
Bringing back the memories in melodies and rhymes
       G
Can he do this for you
       C
Like I used to do
       G
Can he do this for you
       C
Like I used to do

[Verse]
                  G
Does he bring you spices from the Orient, for sweet fragrance in the night
      C
And a jewel from darkest Africa to sparkle in the light
         G
Perfumed waters from the islands to make your body smell so fine
         C                                       G      C
From the sweet Frangipani and the flowering Columbine

[Chorus]
        F
Does he come to you in dreams, that travel through the times
C
Bringing back the memories in melodies and rhymes
       G
Can he do this for you
       C
Like I used to do
       G
Can he do this for you
       C
Like I used to do
