The Day John Kennedy Died Lyrics - Reed Lou

I dreamed I was the president of these United States 

I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stupidity and hate 

I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law, undenied 

And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died 

I dreamed that I could do the job, that others hadn't done 

I dreamed that I was uncorrupt and fair to everyone 

I dreamed I wasn't gross or base, a criminal on the take 

And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died 

Oh the day John Kennedy died 

I remember where I was that day, I was upstate in a bar 

The team from the university was playing football on TV 

Then the screen want dead and the announcer said: 

' There's been a tragedy 

There's are unconfirmed reports the president's been shot 

And he may be dead or dying.' 

Talking stopped, someone shouted: ' What?! ' 

I ran out to the street 

People were gathered everywhere saying: 

' Did you hear what they said on TV? ' 

And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio 

Hit his born and told us the news 

He said: ' The president's dead, he was shot twice in the head 

In Dallas, and they don't know by whom. ' 

I dreamed I was the president of these United States 

I dreamed I was young and smart and it was not a waste 

I dreamed that there was a point to life and to the human race 

I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone 

Shot him in the face 

Oh the day John Kennedy died
