In dreams       (Listen to midi)

 

(rather spoken than sung, single chords : )

C                                                           Am

    A candy colored clown they call the sandman

    Dm                                    G7

    tiptoes to my room every night

     C                                               Am

    just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper,

                  F                G7           C

    “Go to sleep, everything is all right.”

 

     - - - - - - -   C                          Dm

1. I close my eyes, then I drift away,

                    G              - G7            C

     into the magic night       I softly say

                   C                             Dm

    a silent prayer, like dreamers do,

                        G                    - G7                          C

    then I fall asleep to dream          my dreams of you.

 

            C                         G    - G7         F          G          C

2. In dreams I walk with you,          in dreams I talk  to you,

                                 C7   - D                 D7

    in dreams you're mine        all of the time, we're

         C DmG    C       Dm   G7

    together in dreams, in dreams.

 

           C       Fm          C             C           Fm              C

3. But just before the dawn, I awake and find you're gone,

                 C                                Dm         G                 G7                  C

    I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry, I remember that you said goodbye.

               C7         F             G       - G7                C          F          G     - G7

   It's too bad that all these things         can only happen in my dreams,

     C          D7             DmG        C

    only in dreams, in beautiful dreams.
