about

Marty was talking with Al Kniola, one of the hosts of WVPE's venerable folk program "The Back Porch" about classic songs that could, perhaps, be worthy of revisiting. Al mentioned Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer", and it reminded Marty that as a child he'd enjoyed hearing his sister Donna playing it on the piano. But it seemed to quaint to do it in it's original form, so here's a Return to Normal re-make.

lyrics

Beautiful dreamer,
on a dream sea.
Stars twinkling,
waves sparkling, hypnotically.
The noise of the city
is gone with the day.
The surf on the shoreline
is far far away.
Beautiful dreamer,
prince of my night.
Can you still see me
in blue Luna light.
Cast in the REM
of your inner eyesight.
Beautiful dreamer,
dream peacefully.

Beautiful dreamer,
on a dream sea.
Mermaids and narwhals
sing sweet harmony.
Tendrils of mist
gently dance with the wave.
On the horizon
the stars start to fade.
Beautiful dreamer,
a new day will start.
Rise to my serenade
let sorrow depart
Beautiful dreamer,
awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer
awake unto me!
