Dream a Little Dream
Diana Krall & Harry Connick jr Lyrics

Stars shinin' bright above you
The stars in the sky are bright, and they seem to be overlooking the person to whom the song is addressed.

Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
The gentle breeze at night sounds like it's whispering 'I love you' to the person listening, conveying a sense of affection in the air.

Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Amidst the peaceful night, the chirping of the birds on the trees is the only sound, adding to the serene and tranquil atmosphere.

Dream a little dream of me
The singer urges the person listening to dream or imagine themselves together with her in a cozy, loving environment, possibly in a romantic or platonic manner.

Say "nightie night" and kiss me
With the day ending, the singer wants a goodnight kiss and to be held, anticipating a positive response from the listener.

Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
The singer requests the listener to hold them in their arms tightly, expressing how much they will miss each other if they are apart.

While I'm alone and blue as can be
In the absence of the listener, the singer is feeling lonely and sad.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
As the night comes to a close, and the stars become less visible, the singer wants to prolong this moment and stay a little longer with the person listening.

Still craving your kiss
The singer is still yearning for a kiss from the listener, indicating their desire to be intimate with them.

I'm longin' to linger 'till dawn, dear
The singer wishes to be in the company of the listener until the early hours of the morning, extending their time together.

Just sayin' this
The singer subtly states their desires to the listener, hoping they understand what they mean.

Sweet dreams til sunbeams find you
The singer wishes the listener pleasant dreams until the sunrays come to wake them up in the morning.

Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
The singer hopes the listener will have sweet dreams that will make them forget all their worries, guaranteeing that they wake up happy.

But in your dreams, whatever they be
The singer is assuring the listener that they will be present in their dreams, no matter what they may be.

Dream a little dream of me
The singer concludes the song with the same line as in the beginning, urging the listener to dream of them again before drifting off to sleep.
