Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream ('68 Comeback Special 50th Anniversary HD Remaster) (Official...

Elvis Presley was somewhat on the wild side when He first began his singing career with songs like "Jail House Rock", "Heartbreak Hotel", and "Hound Dog", but as the years went by He mellowed along with a movie career He seemed to grow into a new image... The song that I have chosen for this Music Interlude segment is indicative of this change... The song is titled "If I Can Dream". ...I believe you will all enjoy it...

LYRICS:

"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 can't 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
