[Chorus]
Mister 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

[Verse 1]
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

[Chorus]
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
And that his lonesome nights are over

[Verse 2]
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

[Chorus]
Mister 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

[Outro]
Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream

Emmylou Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 2, 1947 to Walter and Eugenia Harris. She attended Garfield Senior High School where she graduated as Valedictorian. She then went to UNCG School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro but dropped out to pursue her musical talents.

Emmylou married Tom Slocum in 1969, but this was a very short marriage as they divorced the following year. It was long enough, however, to produce a daughter, Mika Hallie Slocum, on March 15, 1970. In 1977 she married Brian Ahern and they were married roughly seven years. The couple had one daughter together, Meghann Theresa “M.T” Ahern, born September 9, 1979. In 1985, she married Paul Kennerley who she was married to until 1993.

The 5'5" singer-songwriter is known for songs such as “Beneath Still Waters”, “Together Again”, “Two More Bottles of Wine”.
