Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Laura Welland 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
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
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
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
The lyrics of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Laura Welland are a romantic invocation, a lullaby, and an expression of longing. The song begins with the singer addressing their beloved, recognizing the beauty of the stars shining above them and the gentle breeze that seems to declare its love. The birds in the sycamore tree and the night itself, with its mystery and magic, are all calling for the singer's beloved to join them in a dream, to let go of the worries and sorrows of the day and simply surrender to the beauty of the night.
The second verse is more personal, as the singer asks their beloved to hold them tight and tell them they'll miss them, as the singer is feeling alone and blue. It's a plea for reassurance, for the comfort of knowing that even if they are physically apart, they are still connected by love. The chorus repeats the invitation to dream, to find solace in the sweetness of dreams that will leave all worries behind.
The final verse is a bit melancholic, as the singer acknowledges that the stars are fading and the night is coming to an end. They still long for their beloved's kiss, and they wish they could linger in that moment until dawn. The song ends with a gentle reminder to always dream, no matter where you are or what is happening in life. Dreams can bring us solace and hope, and they can keep us connected to those we love.
