Song title: Follow that dream
(Wise, Weisman) by Elvis Presley (RCA Victor EPA 4368), 1962
Follow that dream - 1983 studio version
One, two
If your heart is restless from waiting so long
If you're tired and weary and you can't go on
If a distant dream is callin' you
Then there's just one thing you can do
Follow that dream wherever it may lead
Come on follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on follow that dream
Now I've been searching for a heart that's free
Searching for someone, to search with me
I need a love, a love I can trust
Together we'll search for the things that come to us
In dreams wherever they may be
Come on follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on follow that dream
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Now every man has the right to live
The right to a chance, to give what he has to give
The right to fight for the things he believes
For the things that come to him in dreams
Yeah, follow that dream wherever it may lead
Come on follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on now follow that dream wherever it may lead
Come on now follow that dream to find the love you need
Come on follow that dream
Yeah, follow that dream
Yeah, come on and follow that dream
Come on and follow that dream
Come on and follow that dream to find the love you need
To find the love you need
To find the love you need
Follow that dream - 28-Apr-1981 version
Your heart is restless and you can't go on
When you're tired and weary and you can't go on
If a distant dream is callin' you
Then there's just one thing that you can do
Yeah, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
Now if I walk in dreams, and I talk in dreams
But
I need someone with a love I can trust
And together we'll search for the things that come to us
In dreams, in dreams
Well I follow that dream wherever that dream may lead me
I gotta follow that dream to find the love I need
Now every man has the right to live
The right to a chance to give what he has to give
A right to fight for the things he believes
For the things that come to him in dreams
Baby in dreams, I walk in dreams
I talk in dreams, I live in dreams
Follow that dream - 7-May-1981 version
When your heart is restless, you can't go on
When you're tired and weary but you can't go on
Well, if a distant dream is callin' you
Then there's just one thing that you can do
Yeah, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead you
You gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
Now if I walk in dreams, and I talk baby in dreams
I need someone with a love I can trust
And together we'll search for the things that come to us
Baby in dreams, baby in dreams
Now every man has the right to live
The right to a chance to give what he has to give
The right to fight for the things he believes
For the things that come to him in dreams
Baby in dreams, I walk in dreams
