In Dreams 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 sway
Oh smile and pray
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
To end all these things
And I'll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

Cover art for In Dreams lyrics by Roy Orbison

Orbison's best song by far.

And way best lyrics.

Also, kind of experimental (i.e. no structure/chorus/verses, etc). Like dreams (OOOOooooOOOOOooooOHHHHHHhhhhhh)

I think this song its about someone who was in a relationship with someone else, but they broke up and now he or she remembers that in his or her dreams.

This is song is amazing. I feel slightly uncomfartable when i think the scene in Blue Velvet with Dennis Hopper and the lipstick.. "DON'T F*CKING LOOK AT ME!"

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.

agree, and I wouldn't have it any other way

I agree with vlocko. This may masquerade as a simple love song, but it is really about losing a loved one (as in death).

And the lyrics near the end should be:

"It's too bad that all these things Can only happen in my dreams"

Cover art for In Dreams lyrics by Roy Orbison

blue velvet.

I think this song refers to a relative who died. 'Only in dreams we are together'.

Cover art for In Dreams lyrics by Roy Orbison

i think he says "To end all these things That only happen in my dreams" not "To end all these things And I'll be happy in my dreams"

I love the lipstick scene, where dennis hopper mutters the chorus to him and has the weird hand position by his head.

Bloody Brilliant.
