Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Chicago Lyrics
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".
Just say 'goodnight' and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, my dear,
Just saying this:
Sweet 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.
Say "nightie-night" and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Dream a little dream of you and me.

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
