Dune is a science fiction franchise that originated with the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert. Dune is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history. It won the 1966 Hugo Award and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel, and was later adapted into a 1984 film as well as a 2000 television miniseries. Herbert wrote five sequels, and the first two were presented as a miniseries in 2003. The Dune universe has also inspired some traditional games and a series of video games. Since 2009, the names of planets from the Dune novels have been adopted for the real-world nomenclature of plains and other features on Saturn's moon Titan.
Frank Herbert died in 1986. Beginning in 1999, his son Brian Herbert and science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson published a number of prequel novels, as well as two which complete the original Dune series—Hunters of Dune (2006) and Sandworms of Dune (2007)—partially based on Frank Herbert's notes discovered a decade after his death.
Well, it's a sweet dream that keeps me close to you dear
And it's a sad thing that we're apart, I'm blue dear
And there are times now I thank the heavens up above
When I'm with the one that I love
Now there are diamonds that some may long to see
And they may shine but not bright enough for me
I wouldn't take no, the whole world dipped in gold
For a night with my Tennessee rose
Take this love I am giving for it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing that you will always be mine
Take this love that I am giving for it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing that you will always be mine
