Dream A Little Dream Of Me
\Mama Cass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 "Night-ie 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

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

I learned about perfect pitch in HS choir, in the early 70’s. I’ve heard many people use the term not knowing what it means.
There’s a few different terms called perfect pitch, most any trained musicians can meet.
The one I learned they don’t have a number of people that possess it.
That would be to sing any note of the scale on demand, and of course all within ones range.

If that’s what you understood it to be, all good, if not please in the future refrain from throwing around terms you’ve heard, but don’t know for a fact what it is.

Myself I have to find middle c first, then hit whatever note was called for. Of course that was before my 5/20/14 stroke that stole my Sinatra quality baritone, Bing Crosby quality whistle, master orators diction ability, instant access to an Oxford dictionary of words, and train of thought, I run into walks when ranting, and I get tongue tied when I rant to quickly;(;(
But I can still walk a 12 minute mile, and all my filangzees work fine.

But my losses kill me;)

My grandpa would always play this song on the piano for me. He passed a few days ago from pancreatic cancer. Every time I hear this song, I think of how much he loved me and I cant help but cry. May he rest in peace and keep smiling 💙💙💙🎹🎵🎶
