Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 and blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn, dear,
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our 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 til dawn dear,
Just saying this
Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our worries far behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our worries far behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore trees
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 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
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
Gotta keep dreaming leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
You gotta make me a promise, promise to me
You'll dream, dream a little of me...
PS! i wondered why this song still haunts me esp in this particular clip ,i found myself also part of the clip and part of the audience too .Acting and singing .But also as a ghost like character sitting in those old dodgy and smoky bioscopes on my own with a coke and popcorn. What a treat !
Only today it came to me ,back like a flash of lightning . For so many years i would watch these old movies alone, where as a dreamer my dreams fulfilled and soothed me ,which multiplied into countless more dreams inspired and imagined by love and song ... which captivated and arrested my muse and soul .
But when the dream / s and the movies quit, it was back to reality and suddenly being alone again and without love reality sobers one up oft with a headache. Ever felt that feeling of crashing to the floor- back to hard reality ? In which begs the questions, do dreams really come true for all ,or only a few ? Or do we build ,imagine and construct our own dreams to fill the gaps in our lives and the missing super hero roles we never got to be ? Radical and farfetched dreams can also often be too big for the ordinary mind .And oft surreal for this plain world , knowing our eternal soul inside cries out for eternity and for eternal dreams to come true which is more in a spiritual dimension where we can more easily transcend and transport self into imaginary locations and positions which love and song inspire without boundaries ... Sometimes longer and longer , but too oft only for a moment or two , which keeps us hoping and dreaming for more and more ... beautiful thoughts and dreams which satisfy our wildest fantasies but also heal the brokenness from our limited power and restricted realities...
Dream on !!!

Ce souvenir je te le prends.
Des souvenirs, comme ca j'en veux tout le temps.
Si par erreur la vie nous separe,
J'le sortirai d'mon tiroir.
J'rêve les yeux ouverts.
Ca m'fait do bien.
Ca ne va pas plus loin.
J'veux pas voir derriere
Puisque j'en viens.
Vivement demain.
Mon bonheur te resemble
Tous les deux vous allez si bien ensemble
Je te l'dirai jamais, jamais assez
Tout ce que tu fais, m'fait d' effet
J'rêve les yeux ouverts.
Ca m'fait do bien.
Ca ne va pas plus loin.
J'veux pas voir derriere
Puisque j'en viens.
Vivement demain.
Un dernier verre de sherry.
do sherry mon amour quand je m'ennuie.
Tous les jours se ressemblent a present.
Tu me manques terriblement

I love this girls voice. And she's singing one of my all time favourite numbers. Ah, wonderful stuff!
L Duranceau
She has that wonderful 'full' voice which completely fills the void musical instruments don't. She is also beautiful. Unfortunately, the song is kind of ruined when they decided to have that big mouth at
2:46 garble his garbage.
Fingers Titan
For me. She is right up there with Karen Carpenter.
Amazing voice.
Valdemar Domingues
Música maravilhosa! Não me canso de ouvi-la.

Absolutely one of the best renditions out there. Fantastic. The down side is you damaged it by choosing to add voice over. Actually you killed it. So says the Ghost!!!
