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
