When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer…

“When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend…” quote by Elvis Presley

“When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song. So I keep singing my song.”

Elvis Presley
