Mr. Sandman
Dreams Woven in Rose Petals: Unraveling the Meaning of Mr. Sandman
Lyrics
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Requesting Mr. Sandman to bring a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Desiring the dream character to be incredibly cute
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Asking for lips resembling roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Wishing for the dream character to be informed that their lonely nights are at an end
Sandman, I'm so alone
Expressing loneliness
Don't have nobody to call my own
Stating the lack of someone special in life
Please turn on your magic brean
Requesting Mr. Sandman to use his magical powers
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Repeating the request for a dream
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Repeating the plea for a dream character to be exceptionally cute
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Emphasizing the desire for an exceedingly adorable dream
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Desiring the dream character to be assured that the singer is not a wanderer
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Reiterating the wish for the end of lonely nights for the dream character
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Reiterating the request for Mr. Sandman to bring a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come hither gleam
Asking for the dream character to have captivating eyes
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
Desiring the dream character to have a heart like Pagliacci, an opera character known for sadness
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Requesting the dream character to have abundant, curly hair similar to Liberace
Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Expressing the desire for someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
Wishing for companionship before getting too old
Sp please turn on your magic beam
Asking Mr. Sandman again to use his magical abilities
Mister Sandman, bring us
Collective plea to Mr. Sandman to bring dreams
Please, please, please
Repetition of the plea for dreams
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
Final plea to Mr. Sandman to bring a dream
