a candycolored 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 dreams 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
