Sandman (Bring Me a Dream) Lyrics by Eric Tagg

Smilin’ Memories

0

I want to live in a storybook land
Where the distant hills lay calling
And enchanted spells from a wizard's hand
Could keep the autumn leaves from falling
There would be knights in glistening armour
Ready to lay down their lives should evil come our way
Where’s that chivalry today?
No, no one can say, but I'm
Living in a world of TV screens
And those mobilized metal monsters
A world where everyone knows what everything means
And gives the same conditioned responses
When I was younger I had fantasies
That would take me away from this hopeless world of pain
But only a precious few remain
And I don't like to complain, so I
Go to bed at night
And shut my eyes real tight, and say
Sandman, bring me a dream, oh, please, Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream, you know
I’ve been waiting all day for a vision of beauty tonight
Oh, let it shine bright
Oh, no, no, no, no
No, no
I hear the call of a damsel far away
Who beckons me through the storm
And I know our souls will meet someday
To free his love unborn
But until I can find that Chosen Road
I'll just have to wade through this shallow blindness on my own
'Til the winds be better blown
I'll spend my days all alone, and just
Go to bed at night
And shut my eyes real tight, and say
Sandman, bring me a dream, oh, please, Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream, you know
I've been waiting all day for a vision of beauty tonight
Oh, let it shine bright
Beatiful dream, yeah
Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream, yeah
