Emmylou Harris
Mr. Sandman
[Verse 1]
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
[Chorus]
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-bum (Ba-ba), bum-bum (Ba-ba)
Bum-bum (Ba-ba), bum-bum
Bum-bum (Ba-ba), bum-bum (Ba-ba)
Bum-bum (Ba-ba), bum-bum
[Verse 2]
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
[Chorus]
Sandman, I'm so alonе
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic bеam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-bum (Ba-ba), bum-bum (Ba-ba)
Bum-bum (Ba), bum-bum
Bum (Ba-ba), bum-bum (Ba-ba)
Bum-bum (Ba), bum-bum
[Verse 3]
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
[Chorus]
Mr. Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring us
Please, please, please
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
