Really One of the very best versions I've ever heard. Musically and, of course, vocally. The Elvis original is in C major (DO maggiore) // then D major (RE maggiore) after the bridge, while this one starts in G major (SOL maggiore) and raises to A major (LA maggiore) after the bridge - very well adapted for her voice. Insanely well in tune!
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true oh why There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream, please let my dream Come true, right now Let it come true right now Oh yeah
I have never been able to sing this song to my satisfaction. I will just stand back and let Carola or Elvis sing it. P.S. I am an Australian with a Swedish name.
Thankyou for your message of encouragement. In September after my 2nd AZ covid jab I will work with my vocal coach again and will do a lot of work on this song. I will record poems, monologues and songs in Spring. Keep well and warm. Norman Lindgren.
