Cotton Candy Land
Elvis Presley (Children's) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To sprinkle you with sand
He'll say "one, two, three"
And you'll be, In cotton candy land
Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
He'll take you, by the hand
And you'll ride upon, a big white swan
You and the swan will float upon
A cloud of pink ice cream
Where every star is a candy bar
And the moon is a marshmallow dream
Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
Take his magic hand
Now goodnight...now sleep tight
In cotton candy land
In cotton candy land
The lyrics of โCotton Candy Landโ by Elvis Presley depict a dream world where the Sandman visits the children and takes them on a ride to a magical land made of cotton candy. Here, the Sandman sprinkles sand on the children and takes them by the hand, leading them to ride on a big white swan. The children and the swan float above a cloud of pink ice cream where candy bars twinkle like stars in the sky and the moon is a marshmallow dream. The song suggests that the world is a dreary place and reality can be boring, but one can escape to cotton candy land in their dreams where there is magic, wonder and all things sweet.
