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 sway
Oh smile and pray
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 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
To end all these things
And I'll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams
