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
