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
  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
  Oh, the day John Kennedy died
  Oh, the day John Kennedy died
  Oh, the day John Kennedy died
