In dreams

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 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 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
