Beginning lyrics for the title song of this collection,
written and recorded while in the Army
in Frankfurt, Germany
DREAM WORLD!
There’s a rainbow up in the sky
As the birds chirp a lullaby,
It’s a DREAM WORLD.
If I had only one last wish
I would ask to establish
A DREAM WORLD.
A place where money means less,
A place made for happiness,
Many people go to pray
Asking God for that promised Day
In a DREAM WORLD.
Yes Sweet DREAM WORLD.© Music & Lyrics by PineTree Music, 1964

(written about flowers in his backyard)Autumn --
gentle morning mist
your cool cleansing drops provide
seasonal freshness.

silken white sewn into roots
of togetherness.
