| Oh what a beautiful sight
|
| Last night I dreamed I went to Country Music Heaven
|
| And you know who greeted me at the Gate
|
| The Old Blue Yodeler himself Jimmy Rodgers
|
| He said to me «Bill they asked me to show you around up here
|
| And right over there is some of your old commodores
|
| Man was I glad to see them
|
| There was Earnest Tubb Marty Robbins Red Foley
|
| Lefty Frizzell Tennessee Ernie Ford
|
| I dreamed I was there in Country Music Heaven
|
| Oh What a beautiful sight
|
| He introduced me to Hank Williams and we saw Elvis
|
| And then he showed me the Hall Of Fame
|
| With all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the wall
|
| And then he said «Step over this way
|
| There are some of your friends I know you’ll want to see
|
| They’re waiting for you»
|
| And there they were standing side by side smiling at me Tex Ritter Johnny Horton George Morgan
|
| Dottie West and Keith Whitley
|
| And then he said we got a big show up here tonight
|
| And we have saved you a seat on the front row
|
| Ah I sat and watched and listened
|
| As Grant Turner introduced an all-star line up Like none I’d ever seen
|
| Roger Miller opened the show with Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys
|
| Followed by Webb Pierce followed by Hawkshaw Hakins
|
| Red Slovine Carl and Pearl Butlerand Cowboy Copus
|
| Lester Flat Stringbean Jimmy Gateley Mel Street
|
| Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline
|
| I saw all the stars in Country Music Heaven
|
| Oh what a star studded night
|
| Then I ask him who else he expected in the next say 100 years
|
| Jimmy handed me a large book covered with stardust
|
| He called it the big tally book
|
| In it were many names
|
| And each name was branded with pure gold
|
| I began to read some of them as I turned the pages
|
| Roy Acuff Minnie Pearl Eddy Aronld Johnny Cash Willie Nelson
|
| Randy Travis Garth Brooks Reba McIntire Whispering Bill Anderson
|
| Whispering Bill Anderson?
|
| Ah and that’s when I woke up And I’m sorry I did
|
| I dreamed I was there in Country Music Heaven
|
| Oh what a beautiful sight |
