Two books that were turned into movies got their titles from the lyrics of this song. Can you name them?

In fact, in the movie (and book), the backup cathcer Piney Woods sings this song in the clubhouse during a rain delay.

Thanks!

Have you seen this?

With Marty Robbins sitting next to him. So sweet and hilarious at the same time.

My father - who could not really speak English — always sang “beautiful dreamer” to my sisters in the morning.

The IDF band had a person who sang it at his funeral.

The film is “Lawman” from 1971. Pretty good western, excellent cast. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067333/
