in dreams

Roy Orbison

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.
