A can-dy co-lored clown         They  call    the   Sand-man
-4   -4  -4 -4  -4             4  -4   5
Tip-toes   to my room            ev-ery night
 5   5    5   -4    5  5 -4     -4  4    5   5
Just to sprin-kle star-dust         And to whis-per
 -4 5    -5              -4  4   -3   4  -4  -4 4
"Go to sleep                  Ev-ry thing    is   all   ri -ight"
6  -5   5   5        6    6   -5   5 5 -4
I close my eyes,     then  I  drift     a- way
-5 -5  5   5  5 -4 -4/-4      6   6 -5  6
In-to    the ma  -gic  night,     I    soft-ly say
6  -5  5  5          6    -5     5     5 -4
 A si-lent prayer      like dream-ers    do-oo
 -5 -5  -5  6   5   -5   -5           5    5     5   -4  4
Then I fall     a sleep  to dream         My dreams of   yo- ou
6    6            5  -6        6   -4
In dreams          I walk         with  you
-4   -6       -7   -4        -7    6
In dreams         I   talk         to     you
-6     7     -6    7     8  -8  7    -8  8 -8
In dreams you're mine all of the      ti-i-ime
  7  7  6      -6      -7   7       -8  8
We're to-ge-   ther     in dreams        In dreams
 7    8   -8  -9  8  8            7 -8  8   -8       -9  8 8
But just be-fore the dawn           I  a-wake and find you gone
6  6 -10  9        6 6   -9  8     7  8 -8
I can't help it           I can't help it,     if I cry
6 6  -10  9   6   -8   8    -8  8 
I re-mem-ber that you said good-bye

It's too baaad      that  all  these things
 6  6  6   9   9  9  9 -10   -8
Can on-ly hap-pen in  my   dreams

   On  - ly          in    dreams                   In   beau-  ti- ful  dre-eams
