Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
[Verse 2]
Say, "Nighty-night," and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
[Verse 3]
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
(Oh, how you linger on)
Still craving your kiss
(How you crave my kiss)
Now I'm longin' to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
(Give me a little kiss, dreams)
[Verse 4]
Dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
[Verse 5]
Fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
Yeah, I'm longin' to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
[Outro]
Sweet dreams (Dreamin') 'til sunbeams find you
Keep dreaming, gotta keep dreaming
Leave the worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever may be
You've gotta make me a promise (Oh, yes), promise to me
You'll dream, dream a little dream of me
