Words & Music Richard Taylor AKA / Ricky Nicewonder Copywrite c Richard Taylor 2019 USE ONLY WITH PERMISSION AMERICAN DREAM I WANDERED DEEP INTO THE WOODS ONE DAY WHERE THE FOREST SEEMED TO COME ALIVE. ONE THOUGHTFUL PINE NOTICED I'D LOST MY WAY, AND HE POINTED TO THE TRAIL, WHERE TRUE LOVE WAS EASY TO FIND. AND THROUGH THE MISTY HAZE, SECONDS SEEMED LIKE DAYS. AND SUNLIGHT GREW BRIGHTER, WHEN WE FOUND EACH OTHER, IN A WORLD FILLED WITH WONDER, HERE WE STAYED YOUNG FOREVER AND SAILED OVER MEADOWS, AND SANG WITH THE SPARROWS, AND FELL IN LOVE CLIMBING RAINBOWS, ALL WHILE I SLEPT IN MY AMERICAN DREAM. TEN SUMMERS LONG CAME A WINTERS NIGHT, AND SO THE MIGHTY FOREST SLEPT AWAY. BUT ONE EVERGREEN CLEARLY WAS SHINING BRIGHT, AND IT LED US TO THE TRAIL WHERE THE WINTERS ONLY LASTED FOR THE DAY. AND IT FELT SO REAL INSIDE, WHEN AN OAK TREE WINKED, HIS EYE. AND THE SUNLIGHT GREW BRIGHTER, WHEN WE HELD EACH OTHER, AND ALL THE TREES DANCED IN WONDER, WHILE WE LAUGHED AND PLAYED TOGETHER, & SAILED OVER MEADOWS, AND FLEW WITH THE SPARROWS, AND MADE LOVE, ON RAINBOWS, ALL DEEP INSIDE MY AMERICAN DREAM.      THERE IT WAS, A HOUSE ON THE LAKE, WHILE THE KIDS PLAYED IN THE YARD. YOU WERE PLANTING ROSES IN THE GARDEN, HERE WE HAD IT ALL. OH AND SUNLIGHT GREW BRIGHTER, WHEN WE KISSED EACH OTHER, ALL THE FOREST DANCED IN WONDER, WHILE WE LAUGHED AND PLAYED TOGETHER. AND THERE IN THE SHADOWS, A LONE WEEPING WILLOW, SHED A TEAR OUTSIDE MY WINDOW, AS I LAID AWAKE FROM MY AMERICAN DREAM. MY AMERICAN DREAM MY AMERICAN DREAM MY AMERICAN DREAM
