A candy-colored clown they call the Sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle star dust 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 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
