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 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 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
