A Dreamer's Holiday by grammyn

A Dreamer's Holiday

Climb aboard a butterfly and take off in the breeze
Let your worries flutter by and do the things you please
In the land where dollar bills are falling off the trees
On a dreamer's holiday.

The opening words to a song popular the year after I was born. My dad sang me and my sister to sleep with it more times than I can remember...but l do remember him singing it often. Now MY children ask him to sing it for them whenever they see him. This is the music for that song on the piano he and mom bought for me when I was in high school.
I can hear you singing it in my head now dad♥
Cool image. Great memories!
