Lyrics

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.
