Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Mama's and the Pappa's 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
The lyrics of Mama's and the Papas's song Dream A Little Dream of Me reveal a beautiful melody that transports the listener to a dreamy state. The opening lines speak of stars shining bright above the person, while the night breeze seems to echo a message of love. The chorus urges the person to dream a little dream of the singer, while the birds serenade them from the nearby sycamore tree.
The second verse of the song talks about saying goodbye for the night, leaving the singer to be alone and blue. At this moment, they yearn for the person to dream of them, which could be seen as an attempt to connect with that person even in their sleep. The bridge of the song switches back to the singer's perspective, where they talk about their feelings in detail. They reveal that the stars are fading, but they still long for the person's kiss and want to linger until dawn. The final verse then closes on an optimistic note, assuring the listener that sweet dreams will find them, which will ultimately leave all their worries behind. But, the singer also urges that in their dreams, whatever they may be, they dream a little dream of them.

Stars shining bright above you
There are stars in the sky shining very brightly above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"

Birds singing in the sycamore tree

Dream a little dream of me
Think of me and imagine something pleasant before you go to sleep

While I'm alone and blue as can be
I feel very lonely and depressed right now
Dream a little dream of me
Think of me and imagine something pleasant before you go to sleep
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Even though the stars are fading away, I am still here, my love
Still craving your kiss

You get the feeling of being infused with something legendary when you hear this song...
It will always remain an inexplicable phenomenon as to why the Mamas and Papas stood out so much from most bands.
There is something magical just hearing their three most famous songs.
Thank you Mamas and Papas
Man hat das Gefühl von etwas legendären durchzogen zu werden, wenn man dieses Lied hört...
Es wird immer ein unerklärliches Phänomen bleiben, warum die Mamas und Papas von den meisten Bands so herausstachen.
Es hat etwas magisches nur schon ihre drei bekanntesten songs zu hören.
Danke Mamas und Papas...
