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 cry

i remember

that you said goodbye

it's too bad it only seems

it only happens in my dreams

only in dreams

in beautiful dreams
