Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 7 in 1963)
Words and Music by Roy Orbison

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 all right?

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 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

Too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams.
