I dreamed I was the president of these United States

I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stupidity and hate

I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law, undenied

And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died



I dreamed that I could do the job, that others hadn't done

I dreamed that I was uncorrupt and fair to everyone

I dreamed I wasn't gross or base, a criminal on the take

And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died



Oh the day John Kennedy died ...



I remember where I was that day, I was upstate in a bar

The team from the university was playing football on TV

Then the screen want dead and the announcer said:

' There's been a tragedy

There's are unconfirmed reports the president's been shot

And he may be dead or dying.'

Talking stopped, someone shouted: ' What?! '

I ran out to the street

People were gathered everywhere saying:

' Did you hear what they said on TV? '

And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio

Hit his born and told us the news

He said: ' The president's dead, he was shot twice in the head

In Dallas, and they don't know by whom. '

I dreamed I was the president of these United States

I dreamed I was young and smart and it was not a waste

I dreamed that there was a point to life and to the human race

I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone

Shot him in the face



Oh the day John Kennedy died ...
