Mr. Sandman
Mary Ford Lyrics

The song "Mr. Sandman" by Mary Ford is a playful and whimsical tune that is typically interpreted as a plea to the mythical character, Mr. Sandman, to bring the singer a dream lover. The song begins with a request for a dream lover who is the cutest the singer has ever seen, with two lips like roses and clover. It then asks Mr. Sandman to tell this dream lover that his lonesome nights are over. The singer laments that she is so alone and doesn't have anyone to call her own. She begs Mr. Sandman to turn on his magic beam and bring her a dream.

The second verse starts off the same as the first, with a request for a dream lover who is the cutest that the singer has ever seen. This time, the lyrics request that Mr. Sandman give this dream lover a message that the singer is not a rover, and to tell him that his lonesome nights are over. The singer is once again very lonely, with nobody to hold. She explains that it would be so peachy to have someone to hold before they're too old. The song ends with a request from a group of people to Mr. Sandman to bring them a dream lover as well.
