In Dreams ('1963) (from the motion picture "Blue Velvet")
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper: "Go to sleep, everything is all right"
I close my eyes Then I drift away Into the magic night I softly sway Oh smile and pray 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 To end all these things And I'll be happy in my dreams Only in dreams In beautiful dreams
