And I dreamed I said in real life, "You sang so many songs

He said "I almost did one of yours, the one about true love
F                     G        C
The 'I Will Always Love You' song, but the Colonel screwed that up"

Well, he sure did, but after all, this is my dream

It would be a dream come true if maybe you could sing it now
