Dream a Little Dream
Fret and Fiddle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We have been gay, going our way
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
After you've gone, life will go on
Like an old song we have sung

When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part

And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart

So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part




And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Dream a Little Dream" by Fret and Fiddle paint a picture of young love and the lingering feelings that remain long after. The first few lines express a sense of joy and fulfillment in life while being young and carefree. However, the following lyrics suggest a fear of what happens when that youthfulness fades away and life moves on, leaving behind only memories of what once was. The line "After you've gone, life will go on, like an old song we have sung" conveys the idea that even though the feeling of love may be gone, life will continue on as before.


The next set of lyrics adds a sense of longing and nostalgia to the song. The repetition of the phrase "When I grow too old to dream" gives the sense that the singer may be looking back at their life and realizing that they can no longer attain what they once had. However, the love they shared with their partner will never fully leave them, as they will always remember the feeling of their love, no matter how old they get.


The last set of lyrics expresses a sense of closure and acceptance in parting ways. The line "And so let us part" suggests that they are saying goodbye to the youthfulness and love they once shared, but they will always hold onto the memory of it. The final line "That kiss will live in my heart" conveys the idea that the love they once shared will never truly fade away, as it will always hold a special place in their heart.
