Lyrics follow below: I wrote this song with Michael in mind, asking myself what would he want to say right now? I wrote a tune I felt he would like and the vocal is very challenging for me to sing, I recorded it in one take. I am not trying to sound like MJJ, but rather sing with a little of his vocal style as a tribute. He would have laughed too much if I'd sang in an English accent, so I revert here completely to my own childhood which seems appropriate, and sing with an American accent. Here in the shadows Of my thoughts A thousand dreams Youll never know about Some of them Broken Some of them Still dreams Time is so precious So fly today For tomorrow They can take your wings away And leave you Broken Your dreams Unspoken So many times Been said before There is no harm In saying it once more One thing Matters Loving Each other Clear your mind Clear your heart Here in the shadows Of my thoughts A thousand dreams Youll never know about Some of them Broken Some of them Still dreams I woke up one day and felt compelled to write a song for Elvis Presley called "The Dream Of Old Las Vegas" . A few days later Michael Jackson died, and I realised I needed to write a song for him. For M.J.J. words and music © copyright Aaron Hart July 2009.
