Dream A Little Dream Of Me
The Mamas & the Papas ft. Elliot Cass Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(You keep pouring into one glass but you're never changing the straw)
(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

Say "nighty-night" and kiss 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

Overall Meaning

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

Man hat das Gefühl von etwas legendären durchzogen zu werden, wenn man dieses Lied hört...

Es wird immer ein unerklärliches Phänomen bleiben, warum die Mamas und Papas von den meisten Bands so herausstachen.

Es hat etwas magisches nur schon ihre drei bekanntesten songs zu hören.

Danke Mamas und Papas...

When I asked where the name "Vernon" came from; I was told that my teenage sister had a crush on a guy upstairs named Vernon. I like my middle name, however some have called me the founder of the Methodist Church !

Cass's shift to the natural in her first chorus is so elegant. The tacked piano is a perfect backing for the harmony. She was a vocal gem. I'd love to have had her live longer and decorate our lives further with her beautiful voice.

That's the legendary Larry Knechtel coming up with the piano parts (including that wonderful solo starting at 1:38 ). He was the genius behind the arrangement and piano part on "Bridge over Troubled Water", the Hammond organ for "Good Vibrations", the harpsichord on "MacArthur Park", the lead guitar solo on Bread's "Guitar Man" and the bass guitar on the Byrds "Tambourine Man". And that's just the tip of the iceberg, yet most people have never heard of the guy (sadly, he's dead now)

I'd just "discover" this song, I literally just heard it on a TV show from Netflix, and it was so beautiful that I had to stop the show to look for the song, is really something! So sweet and mellow 💜

One of these devine musical strokes of genius composed as early as 1931, by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt, with exquisite lyrics by Gus Kahn. First recorded by Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra, but before too long it developed into a popular standard, with well over 400 different recordings. Great artists like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerrald, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, and Doris Day have their verions, but still this one by The Mamas and The Papas sounds just perfect.
