4  4  4   4   4     4
A can-dy co-lored clown

 -3   -3” -3    4   4
They call the Sand-man

-4   -4  -4 -4  -4   4  -4   5
Tip-toes to my room ev-‘ry night

 5   5    5   -4    5  5 -4
Just to sprin-kle star-dust

-4  4    5   5
And to whis-per

 -4 5    -5
"Go to sleep

-4  4   -3   4  -4  -4 4
Ev-‘ry thing is all right"



6  -5   5   -4    6   6 5   5  -5 -5 -4
I close my eyes, then  I  drift a- way

-5 -5  5  -5 -5  5 -4   6  -5  5   5
In-to the ma-gic night, I soft-ly say

-5  5  -5  5  -4   -5    5    5  5 -4
 A si-lent prayer like dream-ers  do

 -5 -5  -5  5   5
Then I fall a sleep

5   5 -4 5    -4   4   4
To dream my dreams of you



6    6    5  -6   6   -5 -4
In dreams I walk with  you

5    6   -7  5   -7 -5 -4
In dreams I talk to  you

6    7      7     7   -8  -8  7   -8
In dreams you're mine all of the time


  7    5  3  3   -3   4
We're to-ge-ther in dreams

-4   5
In dreams

 7   -7  7   8    7   8
But just be-fore the dawn

6 -6  -7  -6   -9   9   8
I  a-wake and find you gone

7   7   -10  9
I can't help it

6   6    -9  8   7  8 -8
I can't help it, if I cry

6 6  -10  9   6   -8   -8  -8 8 8 7
I re-mem-ber that you said good-bye



 6    6   9   9    9 -8 -8     -8
It's too bad that  all  these things

 6  6  6   9   9  9  9 -10   7
Can on-ly hap-pen in  my   dreams

10 -10 10  9 -8
On- ly in dreams

-8  -9  8  -8    7
In beau-ti-ful dreams
