Discover the story of the song > In Dreams – Roy Orbison

The song talks about a person who has a dream every night where a candy-colored clown called the sandman sprinkles stardust and tells him everything will be okay as he falls asleep. In these dreams, he walks and talks with his partner referred to as 'she' and they are together. However, every time he wakes up at dawn, she is gone, and he remembers having said goodbye. Unfortunately, all these moments he shares with his partner can only occur in his dreams.
