The Great American Dream

It was '63, you wore my ring
And danced every dance with me
So many tomorrows to look forward to
You listened while I told you my dreams

I had to change the world alone
Just knew I could do it in time
I was gonna be everyone's hero
I was gonna be top of the line

And I had dreamed the great American Dream
I was gonna be rich and famous
And you were gonna be there with me
But having the name with the fortune and fame
Wouldn't be the same without you
Knew all the best of my American Dream
You are my dream come true

I finally come to realize
What matters most to me
Isn't having my name in neon lights
Or being what I wanted to be
With all I have, you're all I need
I'm happy as a man can be
While I was chasing my American Dream
Then the American Dream caught me

And I had dreamed the great American Dream
I was gonna be rich and famous
And you were gonna be there with me
But having the name with the fortune and fame
Wouldn't be the same without you
Knew all the best of my American Dream
You are my dream come true

And you are my great American Dream
You are my great American Dream
You are my great American Dream
You are my great American Dream
