HE WAS A YOUNG BOY OF TEN
LIVING IN A FAR-OFF LAND
A DREAM WOULD BECOME REALITY
HE KNEW NOT WHEN
THE YOUNG LADY WAS A FAIR BLONDE
WITH ROUND CRYSTAL BLUE EYES
HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HER
WHILE HE WOULD LAY THERE
VIVIDLY DREAMING OF HER
THE YOUNG BOY GREW UP
HE WENT TO AMERICA
TO JOIN THE SERVICE
HIS DUTY TOOK HIM TO VIET NAM
THEN BACK TO BASE IN CALIFORNIA
ONE NIGHT THE YOUNG MAN
ATTENED A USO DANCE
AT A CANTEEN IN LOS ANGELES
HE LOOKED UP
AND TO HIS AMAZEMENT
THERE SHE WAS
THE GIRL IN HIS DREAM
SO MANY YEARS BEFORE
THEY MET AND OF COURSE
IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
HE WOULD NEVER FORGET
HE ASKED THE YOUNG GIRL
TO BE HIS GIRL
THEN HE ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM
THAT DAY WOULD COME
TWO LOVEBIRDS
ON A JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE
THEY MARRIED AND THE MARRIAGE
IS WELL ON FIFTY YEARS NOW
A DREAM BECAME REALITY
