Lyrics
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, “I love you”
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me, yes
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, yeah
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this, yes
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, yeah
Yes, stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this, yes
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
Yes, dream a little dream of me
