"In Dreams"
(Roy Orbison)
[Note: there's no conventional verse/chorus structure]
C Am
A candy colored clown they call the sandman
Dm G13
Tiptoes to my room everynight
C Am
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
F G7 C
Go to sleep, everything is all right
C
I close my eyes
Dm
Then I drift away
G7
Into the magic night
C
I softly say
C
A silent prayer
Dm
Like dreamers do
G7
Then I fall asleep to dream
C
My dreams of you
C G7
In dreams I walk with you
F G7 C
In dreams I talk to you
(C)
In dreams you're mine
D7
All of the time, we're
C Dm G C Dm G7
Together in dreams, in dreams
C Fm C
But just before the dawn
C Fm C
I awake and find you're gone
C Dm
I can't help it I can't help it if I cry
G7 C
I remember that you said goodbye
C F G7
It's too bad that all these things
C F G7
Can only happen in my dreams
C D7
Only in dreams
Dm7 G7 C
In beautiful dreams
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers

Orbison's best song by far. And way best lyrics. Also, kind of experimental (i.e. no structure/chorus/verses, etc). Like dreams (OOOOooooOOOOOooooOHHHHHHhhhhhh)

these lyrics are incorrect it should be 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 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 that you said goodbye. It's too bad that all these things, Can only happen in my dreams Only in dreams, In beautiful dreams.

I love the lipstick scene, where dennis hopper mutters the chorus to him and has the weird hand position by his head. Bloody Brilliant.

I think this song its about someone who was in a relationship with someone else, but they broke up and now he or she remembers that in his or her dreams.

This is song is amazing. I feel slightly uncomfartable when i think the scene in Blue Velvet with Dennis Hopper and the lipstick.. "DON'T F*CKING LOOK AT ME!"
