The Mama's and the Pappa's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(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
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and 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 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams 'til 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 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams 'til 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 The Mamas & the Papas is a classic love song with a dreamy and romantic vibe. The lyrics speak of the singer's desire for their lover to dream of them and for them to have sweet dreams. The opening line "Stars shining bright above you" sets the dreamy tone of the song, creating an image of a peaceful and starry night where the singer is feeling introspective and yearning for their lover.
The lyrics are split between the first and second person, with the first person being the singer and the second person being their lover. The chorus is a call to their lover to "dream a little dream of me" and to find comfort and solace in their dreams. The verses are the singer expressing their own feelings of loneliness and longing for their lover, suggesting that they too will be dreaming of them while they are apart.
The song is a romantic classic that has been covered by many artists over the years, but the charm and magic of the original version sung by The Mamas & the Papas still holds strong. It's a beautiful reminder of the power of love, dreams and the unbreakable bond between two people.

You get the feeling of being infused with something legendary when you hear this song...
It will always remain an inexplicable phenomenon as to why the Mamas and Papas stood out so much from most bands.
There is something magical just hearing their three most famous songs.
Thank you Mamas and Papas

I had the 45 rpm and wore the damn thing out. Got a lot of air play as well during its initial release. Just love it and her voice.
