Wim Sonneveld - The Japanese Sandman songtekst

Je score:

Here’s a Japanese sandman  
Sandman sneaking on with the dew
Just an old secondhand man
He'll buy your old day from you 

He will take every sorrow
Of the day that is through 
And he'll give you tomorrow
Just to start a life anew 

Then you'll be a bit older 
In the dawn when you wake 
And you'll be a bit bolder 
With the new day you make 

Here's the Japanese Sandman 
Trade him silver for gold 
Just an old secondhand man 
Trading new days for old.

Won't you stretch imagination for the moment and come with me
Let us hasten to a nation lying over the western sea
Hide behind the cherry blossoms here's a sight that will please your eyes 
There's a baby with a lady of Japan singing lullabies

Here’s the Japanese sandman  
Sandman sneaking on with the dew
Just an old secondhand man
He'll buy your old day from you 

He will take every sorrow
Of the day that is through 
And he'll give you tomorrow
Just to start a life anew 

Then you'll be a bit older 
In the dawn when you wake 
And you'll be a bit bolder 
With the new day you make 

Here's the Japanese Sandman 
Trade him silver for gold 
Just an old secondhand man 
Trading new days for old
