A candy coloured clown they call the sandman,

Tiptoes to my room every night,

Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper,

"Go to sleep everything is alright"

I close my eyes and I drift away,

And to 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,
F G C
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,
G C
I remember when you said "goodbye".

It's too bad that all these things,

Can only happen in my dreams,

Only in dreams,
