A candy-colored clown they call the Sandman

Tiptoes to my room every night

Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper

"Go to sleep, everything is all right"

I close my eyes, then I drift away

Into the magic night, I softly say

A silent prayer like dreamers do

Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you

In dreams I talk to you

In dreams you're mine all of the time

We're together in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn

I awake and find you gone

I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry

I remember that you said goodbye

It's too bad that all these things

Can only happen in my dreams

Only in dreams

In beautiful dreams
