[Chorus]
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

[Verse 1]
Midnight sunshine silent thunder
Sky as black as day
Only a dream away

[Chorus]
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

[Verse 2]
Waking while you're still deep sleeping
Finding you're not here
Watching a dream appear

[Bridge]
Tumbling through a thousand centuries
You don't know where you'll land, it's so dark in mythology
Treasures of history to be found, near the legends of time
All the handiworks remain there, only a dream away

[Chorus]
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

[Verse 3]
Greedy feeling, wheeling, dealing
Losing what you won
See the dream come undone

[Bridge 2]
Stumble you may with the elementary
Lucky you got so far, all you owe is apologies
Measure the mystery and astound, without taking up time
Still the handiworks remain, only a dream away

[Chorus]
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

[Verse 4]
In, out, hot, cold, up, down, young, old
What a lot to do
Sharing a dream with you

[Chorus]
Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay
Sal you te lee ay vee show

Oh ry in eye ay, oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in ah key, ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee, oh ry in eye ay

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
