This is first book in the series

Memories And Music

 



This ebook contains

songs, poems, and stories with pictures

from the early years of Roger Hall,

ASCAP songwriter, poet, and author

His first complete pop song

was recorded in 1961

while he was in the U.S. 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.

When I have bad dreams at night,

I wake up in an awful fright,

Where’s that DREAM WORLD?


A place where violence is gone,

A place where freedom lives on,

Maybe sometime I’ll find this place,

Until then I’ll have to erase

This DREAM WORLD.

Yes Sweet DREAM WORLD…

DREAM WORLD!

© Lyrics and Music by PineTree Music 1964

  rising upwards…opening up…
    smiling faces! 

Autumn --

gentle morning mist
   your cool cleansing drops provide
      seasonal freshness.

Winter --

ah, winter marriage!
   silken white sewn into roots
     of togetherness.
