[IL-Talk] lyrics for the imposssible dream

[Mary lou Grunwald]

Hello all,
My suggestion is that we go whatever the easiest one is to sing. As many of us know there are many beautiful versions available of this song. But, what I think we’re really going for here is an easy version for people to sing so that we can retain our bragging rights.

The one that I'm thinking about about by Richard Kyley  has a two measure introduction and it's in 3/4 time. It also does  not go high at the end which the Josh Groban version does.  Maybe it would help if I pasted links to both and then we couldMaybe it would help if I pasted links to both and then we could decide which version would be better.
