Lyrics: Beautiful Dreamer = Meaningful User


A couple weeks ago I had the idea that the song "Beautiful Dreamer" had the same number of syllables as "Meaningful User," so started to rewrite the lyrics appropriately (I love doing stuff like that). But I guess my creative spark fizzled and only got the first verse done.

Here are the original lyrics:

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,

Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;

Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,

Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,

List while I woo thee with soft melody;

Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!


Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea

Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;

Over the streamlet vapors are borne,

Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,

E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;

Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Here's what I came up with so far...

Meaningful user, wake unto me,

Certifications are waiting for thee;

Sounds of our health care, falling away,

Lull'd by C-C-H-I-T saving the day!

Meaningful user, no one defines,

Stimulus money for healthcare IT;

Will it prevent us from losing our minds?

Meaningful user, awake unto me!

Meaningful user, awake unto me!

Please have a go at finishing it up in the comments. Thanks.

  1. Meaningful user, wake unto me,
    Endless discussion is hard on my knee;
    See all the patients waiting for thee
    Anxiously wondering how it impacts thee.
    Meaningful user, help me define,
    The reason for standards is caring for me
    Make it be quick and painless for thee!
    Meaningful user awake unto me,
    The purpose of healthcare is caring for me!
