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 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 try
I remember that you said goodbye

Too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

    these lyrics are incorrect

    it should be

    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.
