Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Mel Tormé and Mickey Thomas 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 song "Dream a Little Dream of Me" is a romantic ballad that invites the listener to let go of their worries and fall into a peaceful slumber. The opening lines set the scene with a picture of a peaceful night sky and gentle breezes. The chorus then suggests that the listener dreams about the singer, who seems to be a lover or a close friend, to keep them company while they sleep.
The second verse hints at loneliness while the singer is left alone to dream. They ask to be held tight and to be told they will be missed to bring them comfort. The bridge then reveals that the singer is unwilling to let go of their companion and is still craving their kiss even as the stars start to fade. They long to linger with their loved one until the morning light.
