Chris De Burgh - In Dreams lyrics

A candy coloured 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 and I drift away
And to 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 when you said "goodbye"

It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams
