Great to hear Andy Williams again. Did you know that when Bobby Kennedy was killed, his widow Ethyl was dating Andy Williams? But the Catholic church would not let them get married, for some reason. But this video (not one you would expect) is a good foil for the words. Showing a tiny little insect, who everyday has to fight incredible odds just to stay alive. To fight the unbeatable foe, who is 50 times bigger than he is. And the pix are just darn CUTE.
This song describes my views on life. Dont ever give up on anything you do in life if its worth doing to you . If your going to do it, do it with conviction no matter how hard its or how unlikely it seems or endless.
One of the best renditions by the wonderful voice of Andy Williams. The romance and idealism of the song is captured beautifully by Andy's voice and the orchestral backing.
Few, if any, owned music with their voice like Andy Williams from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s. Many acts and singers leave lasting, great music but for me, nobody leaves more of a lasting impression singing than Andy Williams.
Few, if any, owned music with their voice like Andy Williams from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s. Many acts and singers leave lasting, great music but for me, nobody leaves more of a lasting impression singing than Andy Williams. I'm confident I'll feel this way years from now too.
As beautifully true today as it was when Richard Kiley first sang it on the stage of "Don Quixote, Lord of La Mancha." Only Andy could make this song better. To make it a " dream" to listen to again and again.
follow for the star no matter how hopeless?, if i were him i will aim for the sun or i will just rest , anyway its the same hopelessness.... better yet i just eat... just kidding what a great song... : > )
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell For a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest

Lol... Theres a picture of a snail when he says to beat the unbeatable foe... Corry's slug and snail bate must STILL be the unbeatable foe for that poor bastard snail!

Hey roseita100, is this the one you mean?
If wishes were horse then beggars would ride,
On clouds of white stallions with bright fiery eyes,
Chasing stars into corners of yesterday's skies.
Where life was a game and good fun was the prize,
Where love was the bunny that lived down the street,
and pain was no rootbeer or cookies to eat.
