Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is Mama Cass)
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of 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 'til dawn, 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
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 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

Stars shining bright above you
The stars that glisten above are shining bright in your presence
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
The gentle night breeze seems to convey the message of love
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Birds chirping melodiously while perched on the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Have a small fantasy about myself in your dreams

Bid me a sweet goodnight and give me a loving kiss

I yearn to stay until the break of dawn, my love
Just saying this
I simply express these feelings

May serene dreams take away all your problems

Whatever you dream of
Dream a little dream of me
Have a small fantasy about myself in your dreams

Las estrellas brillan intensamente sobre ti
Las brisas de la noche parecen susurrar “te amo”
Los pájaros cantan en el árbol sicómoro
Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo
Di que noche más oscura y bésame
Solo abrázame fuerte y dime que me extrañarás
Mientras esté tan solo y triste como se pueda estar
Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo
Las estrellas se apagan pero yo permanezco, cariño
Todavía ansiando tu beso
Deseo quedarme hasta el amanecer, cariño
Solo diciendo esto
Dulces sueños hasta que los rayos de sol te encuentren
Dulces sueños que dejen todos tus problemas atrás
Pero en tus sueños cualquiera que sean
Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo
Las estrellas se apagan pero yo permanezco, cariño
Todavía ansiando tu beso
Deseo quedarme hasta el amanecer, cariño
Solo diciendo esto
Dulces sueños hasta que los rayos de sol te encuentren
Dulces sueños que dejen todos tus problemas atrás
Pero en tus sueños cualquiera que sean
Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo

...you keep pouring into one glass and you're never changing the straw."
"And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is...Mama Cass."
Stars shining bright above you;
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, 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 -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

I love this song. Mama Cass surely did have the voice of an angel.

Born in the 50s this song, by the Mammas & The Papas has always been sentimental to me . There was the little juke box version at the dining tables at restaurants. .💖

@David Chissoe Nope. She died in her sleep. Heart attack.
David Chissoe
So sad though, she died of a chicken bone that killed her, she had a very beautiful voice, just like true singers, it ends horrible.
