"Mr. Sandman" lyrics

"Mr. Sandman"
(originally by The Chordettes)

Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her two lips like roses and clover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over
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

Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her the word that I'm not a rover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over
Oh Sandman
I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream

Oh Sandman
Bring us a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her two lips like roses and clover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over
Oh Sandman
I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream

Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream
Make her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her two lips like roses and clover
And tell her that her lonely nights are over

SYML explained, "I was asked to make this cover for a TV show, but it never ended up getting used. I thought it was an intriguing choice because of the bubblegum-happy feel of the original. When I was working on it, I was moved by how desperate and dark the lyrics actually felt when you slowed things down and gave it a minor feel overall."
This song was premiered by Atwood Magazine in honor of the 63rd Anniversary of the original "Mr Sandman" on the 14th of May 2017. The original was made popular by The Chordettes in 1954.
"Mr. Sandman" was featured in the short film "TIM" (The Invisible Me) by John Grammatico in 2019.
