C                                   Am
A candy colored clown they call the sandman
 F                       G
Tiptoes to my room everynight
 C                                Am
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
        F           G7          C
Go to sleep, everything is all right

            C
I close my eyes
              Dm
Then I drift away
          G7
Into the magic night
          C
I softly say

           C
A silent prayer
              Dm
Like dreamers do
              G7
Then I fall asleep to dream
              C
My dreams of you

     C                G7
In dreams I walk with you
     F       G7      C
In dreams I talk to you
     C
In dreams you're mine
D7
All of the time, we're
   C Dm  G    C     Dm G7
Together in dreams, in dreams

     C     Fm        C
But just before the dawn
    C        Fm          C
I awake and find you're gone
               C                       Dm
I can't help it. I can't help it if I cry
          G7                     C
I remember that you said goodbye

          C       F          G7
It's too bad that all these things
          C  F         G7
Can only happen in my dreams
C        D7
Only in dreams
    Dm7  G7    C
In beautiful dreams
