lirik lagu jerry lee lewis - beautiful dreamer (knox phillips sessions)
they found him dying with 38 cents in his pocket
a penny for each year of his life
3 days later, stephen foster died
one of the greats of all time
like al jolson, hank williams and jimmie rodgers
and here to sing this story of stephen foster
is the living legend and the greatest stylist of our time
mr. jerry lee lewis
oh beautiful dreamer, awake unto me
starlight, dewdrops, you know they’re waiting for thee
now listen whilе i woo thee all the day long
beautiful dreamеr, yes, please wake for my song
listen to me now folks for the beautiful words
the music of america’s greatest poets
you know his melodies and rhymes will live on forever
you can feel the beauty, the sadness
he felt in this short lifetime
he was touched by the lady of music
with ease in every line
his songs, my god, they’re captured forever and ever
they’ll be here for all time
he sang of the beauty of the steamboats
the sorrow, my lord, the sadness of the black folks
you know those people were treated so unfair
he sang of the girl he loved
jeanie, oh jeanie with the light brown hair
of course he sang of camptown racetrack two miles long
way down upon that old swanee river
but what puzzles jerry lee lewis, neighbours
all he had given
this great man, he, he died so young
my god, he was broke, he was drunk and all alone
i just can’t understand it
i know how lonely he must have felt
the night this great person
wrote his last and greatest song
listen to the words, now
lord, i’m lost in arms of life’s raging sea
beautiful dreamer, awake unto me
beautiful dreamer, awake unto me
thanks, stephen, al, hank, jimmie and jerry lee
lost in arms of life’s raging sea, neighbours
maybe he just left that for you to listen to
you better think about it
god bless you
