Just a dream, just a dream All our plans and our all schemes How could I think you'd be mine The lies I'd tell myself each time I know that we could never last We just can't seem to in the past Just a dream I dream in vain With you I'd only live in pain Your picture is always with me I can still hear that same mournful song And now I sit here crying Please leave me alone Why , why do I love you How can I live in misery I know that I won't forget you But now I know it's too late for me

Brief biography courtesy of Wikipedia
Jimmy Clanton (born 2 September 1940, Baton Rouge, Louisiana) known as the "swamp pop R&B teenage idol", and his band recorded a hit song "Just A Dream" which Clanton had written in 1958 for the Ace Records label. It reached number four on the Billboard charts and sold over a million copies. Clanton performed on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. He toured with popular artists like Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and The Platters. Clanton formed his first band in 1956 while in high school. One of the few white singers to come out of the New Orleans R&B/rock & roll sound, he rode the crest of the popular teen music wave in the 1950s and '60s with such songs as 'Just a Dream' and 'Venus in Blue Jeans'. He even continued to release hits after he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1961 and served for two years. Clanton became a disc jockey in the 1970s and performed in an oldies revue, The Masters of Rock 'n' Roll, with Troy Shondell, Ray Peterson, and Ronnie Dove. He had a religious conversion in the 1980s. In the 1995 Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Clanton performed with Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, and Frankie "Sea Cruise" Ford. Today, the solid gold performer continues to perform regularly in well-received solo concerts and rock and roll package shows. His fans can get appearance info, CDs and exclusive products through the Website www.JimmyClanton.com. Clanton and his wife Roxanne are featured regularly on Hardcore Health, an eColumn on www.MyBestYears.com. The Clantons book, Hardcore Health: New Beginnings...First Steps on the Road to an Extraordinary Life, is scheduled for release during late 2007 by www.PrairieHillPress.com. Clanton starred in a rock and roll movie produced by Alan Freed called Go Johnny Go, and later starred in Teenage Millionaire.
