These are my Dreams by Stan Graham
This is my escape from it all song, I’m definitely a dreamer.
When I was young I always wanted an adventure, no matter where it takes you.
That’s why I joined the Army. Stan

These are my Dreams by Stan Graham
This song brings back wonderful times in France at La Jeusseliniere where we ran music workshops. During that time we hosted many great singers and songwriters, musicians, Stan being one of them. We had the joy of singing,making music, songwriting and becoming lifelong friends. After leaving France we continued our musical gatherings with an annual La Jeuss Reunion. This year would have been our 17th such event and would have been held at Halsway Manor in Somerset. Unfortunately, like so many events we have to postpone it until 2022. So I would like to dedicate this song to all our La Jeuss friends,past,present and future and hope that we shall all meet again at Halsway Manor on the 9th May 2022. Martyn
THESE ARE MY DREAMS By Stan Graham.
As young boy I dreamed my life away
Counted all the tall ships that sailed to far Bombay
Saddled up my pony and went to search for gold
Fought against the wind and rain and pirate ships of old
Dreamed of gypsies of vagabonds and kings
David and Goliath and stones to throw in slings
Hunted with Geronimo and all his Indian braves
Slew the lion in his den and freed the world from slaves.
Chorus;
These are my dreams my shelter from life’s storm
They walk beside me and at night they keep me warm
These are my dreams they help me through the day
And come the night I dream my life away.
As a young man I tried to reach the stars
Flew across the universe past Jupiter and Mars
Walked across the Andes and when I reached Peru
Sailed across a frozen sea with Scott and all his crew.
Chorus;
The hands of time now knock upon my door
I’m just a dreamer who knows what dreams are for
Tinker or tailor a soldier from lost wars
Who needs to dream from now and ever more.
Chorus;
