Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye 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 Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye is a classic lullaby tune that has been covered by many artists over the years. It's a song about longing and lingering for someone that you love, and it paints a picture of a peaceful night filled with stars, whispers of love, and the gentle sounds of nature.
The first verse starts by describing the beauty of the stars shining bright above and the night breezes whispering "I love you." The second verse then transitions to a more personal tone, with the singer asking their love to say "Night-ie night" and kiss them while they hold them tight and express how much they'll miss them. This is followed by a somber reflection on being alone and feeling blue - a sentiment that's likely relatable to anyone who's been in a long distance relationship or had to say goodbye to someone they love.
The song then has a brief instrumental break before returning to the chorus, which reminds the listener to dream sweet dreams till the sunbeams find them and to let go of worries while they do. The last verse is a repeat of the second verse, except this time the singer is not just longing but also craving the kiss of their lover. It's a heartwarming and timeless song that captures the universal human experience of longing for love.
