Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra 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 by Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra, is a sweet and romantic song about a person who is longing for their lover. The song begins with the singer talking about stars and night breezes, and how they seem to be whispering about love. The birds singing in the sycamore tree add to the romantic atmosphere of the song, and the singer encourages the listener to dream a little dream of them.
The second verse of the song is where the singer literally asks the listener to say "Night-ie night" and kiss them. They ask to be held tight and told that they will be missed. The singer expresses his loneliness and sadness while being alone, and again encourages the listener to dream a little dream of him.
The chorus is repeated twice in the song, and the singer talks about how they are still thinking about their lover as the stars begin to fade. They express their longing to linger until dawn, and wish for the listener to have sweet dreams that leave all worries behind them, but to also dream a little dream of them.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and romantic way to express one's love for another.

Nice video! I once met Ozzie and Harriet and they were the greatest people. Ozzie in particular was very outgoing and talked with me like we were old friends. Harriet was a bit quieter but lovely as always. Thank you!

I never saw Ozzie Nelson on TV without a smile on his face.

Thanks for this beautiful video to go with a great old tune ... The Nelson's varied contributions to American entertainment are too little remembered.
