Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Ozzie And Harriet Nelson 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 Ozzie And Harriet Nelson paint a picture of a sweet and tender love story. The singer sets the scene by describing the night sky, which is full of shining stars and cool breezes. The calm ambiance is disrupted by the sounds of birds singing in the sycamore tree, adding to the tranquil setting. The singer then urges his or her lover to dream of them, saying "Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me while I'm alone and blue as can be."
As the night progresses, the stars start to fade, but the singer lingers on, still longing for their lover's touch. The singer then wishes their lover sweet dreams that leave all worries behind them while asking them to dream a little dream of the singer, regardless of what their dreams may be.
The song captures a sense of longing for a love that is just out of reach. The singer's plea for their lover to dream of them shows that despite the distance or the passing of time, their love will always remain strong. Thus, the song is a perfect tune to play for a loved one or use as a lullaby when going to bed.
