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 alright
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
