Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
“And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is…Mama Cass.”Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper ‘I love you’.
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me.
While I’m alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.Stars fading but I linger on, dear –
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you –
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear –
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you –
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
