3. I was close....

IF I CAN DREAM

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why cant my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where HOPE keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

4. It's the thought that counts. And, Elvis doesn't care.

5. Elvis ain't the only one born on January 8

A belated Happy B-day also to Mr David Jones, a.k.a. Ziggy Stardust, a.k.a. The Thin White Duke. a.k.a. Screaming Lord Byron, a.k.a. David Bowie

I have no idea what lyrics of his to quote here that would go with the Elvis song though. So I'll just throw in a random YouTube link instead.....

6. And here I thought his dream was a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich

but seriously when Elvis sand "If I Can Dream" on the '68 comeback special he was at the top of his form and looked great in leather.
