You were walking on your tiptoes
Careful not to interrupt those
Dreams I was having as you closed the door behind
I woke up that morning
Don't recall a warning
Might not see you but I can dream you any old time
I can dream you any old time
Wake up with a smile or a tear coming from my eye
I can dream you just for a while
Mr. Sandman, he been working overtime
Waiting by the front door
Like a dog for you to come home
Good boy, bad boy, I can be what you want me to
Walk down to the corner
Keep thinking that I saw her
Sleep walking and talking every day and night to you
I can dream you any old time
Wake up with a smile or a tear coming from my eye
I can dream you just for a while
Mr. Sandman, he been working overtime
In and out of slumber
Toss and turn and I wonder
How many days and nights I can keep hangin on
Maybe you're not coming back
Maybe thats not all bad
I know where to find you even though you're gone
I can dream you any old time
Wake up with a smile or a tear coming from my eye
I can dream you just for a while
Mr. Sandman, he been working overtime
I can dream you just for a while
Mr. Sandman, he been working overtime
