Mr. Sandman foi escrito por Pat Ballard e publicado em 1954.
As gravações originais foram feitas em maio de 1954 por Vaughn Monroe e sua orquestra, seguindo-se as versões de The Chordettes e do grupo Four Aces no mesmo ano.
A letra faz referência ao personagem folclórico "Mr. Sandman", mas neste contexto o termo "dream" possui um significado mais próximo de "enamorado ideal" do que de sonho literal.
As partituras originais incluíam versões masculinas e femininas da letra, permitindo que o pronome referente ao sonho desejado fosse alterado conforme o gênero do artista ou grupo tocando a música.
Uma versão interpretada por Emmylou Harris se tornou um sucesso em diversos países em 1981.
Outras notáveis produções da canção incluem versões instrumentais de Chet Atkins em 1954 e de Bert Kaempfert em 1968.
