" "
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."<p>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 dreams, my dreams of you.

Additional quotes by Roy Orbison

There goes my baby,
There goes my heart.
They're gone forever,
So far apart.<p>But only the lonely
Know why
I cry.
Only the lonely.

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry.
Your baby doesn't want you anymore,
It's over.

Just runnin' scared each place we go,
So afraid that he might show.
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you?
