Song Lyrics

One of his early songs written and recorded while he was in the Army
stationed in Frankfurt, Germany.

Here are the lyrics:

"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.
