Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Mamas Papas 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 to "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" by The Mamas & The Papas capture the essence of a dream-like state where reality and fantasy converge to create a surreal experience. The song's opening lines describe a starry night where the breeze seems to whisper words of love, creating a magical atmosphere. As the song progresses, the singer implores the listener to dream of them, to hold them tight and tell them they'll be missed. The third verse paints a picture of a person consumed by longing, willing to stay up all night just to feel the warmth of a kiss. The song's chorus provides a comforting message, urging the listener to let go of their worries and let sweet dreams take over.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of melancholy that lingers in the background. The repeated line "Stars fading but I linger on, dear" emphasizes the fleeting nature of happiness and the inevitability of life's struggles. Despite this, the song offers a sense of hope, suggesting that even in the midst of hardship, we can find solace in our 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.

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.
