Hey mister sandman
Could you bring me a dream
I’ve been awake for hours
And I need to sleep, oh
I’m goin’ crazy but it’s out of my hands
That’s what I get for sleepin’ with the sandman
Hey mister sandman
I’ve been awake all night
And I can’t wait forever for you
Here in the moonlight
I had a dream you told me you’d be my man
And that’s where I’ll be sleepin’ with the sandman
Wait all night ‘till he’ll be by my side
Sandman
Why don’t you take me away
I’m here and I need to escape
I’m waiting on you baby
Sandman
Comin’ as fast as I can
I’m runnin’ if you’ll take my hand
I’m waitin’
Hey mister sandman
Could you take me away
I’m gettin’ tired
And I need to escape, oh
I’m drifting off and this was never my plan
But I can’t help I’m sleepin’ with the sandman
Wait all night ‘till he’ll be by my side
Sandman
Why don’t you take me away
I’m here and I need to escape
I’m waiting on you baby
Sandman
Comin’ as fast as I can
I’m runnin’ if you’ll take my hand
I’m waitin’
Nothing’s keeping me from sleeping
You are here with me
And as the night gets nearer
You grow clearer
Safely in my dreams
But as the day comes
I have no one, I don’t want this
Don’t you get tired of making cameos
In my subconscious
Wait all night ‘till he’ll be by my side
Say I’m right, that you’ll be by my side
Sandman
Why don’t you take me away
I’m here and I need to escape
I’m waiting on you baby
Sandman
Comin’ as fast as I can
I’m runnin’ if you’ll take my hand
Sandman
Why don’t you take me away
I’m here and I need to escape
I’m waiting on you baby
Sandman
Comin’ as fast as I can
I’m runnin’ if you’ll take my hand
I’m waitin’
How can another come and do what only he can
Oh I’ll be wide awake at night without the sandman
