Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Tommy Tune 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
Tommy Tune's "Dream a Little Dream of Me" is a song filled with lyrics that express love, longing, and dreams. The song begins with the singer asking the stars to shine bright above the person they are singing to. They describe the night breeze as whispering "I love you", symbolizing the comforting factor of the surrounding atmosphere. The birds singing in the sycamore tree signify the tranquility and joy associated with being in love.
The singer then asks the person to say "night-ie night" to them and to hold them tight and tell them that they'll miss them, which indicates how strongly they feel about the person they are singing to. They then confess to feeling alone and blue as they dream of the person they love. The chorus repeats the phrase "dream a little dream of me," emphasizing the singer's desire for the person to think about them.
The second verse continues the theme of the singer's aching to be with the person they love, with the lines "Stars fading, but I linger on, dear/ Still craving your kiss/ I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear/ Just saying this". These lyrics convey the feeling of desperation the singer feels towards their loved one. The song ends with the chorus again, where the singer asks the person to have sweet dreams until sunbeams find them and to dream of them.
In summary, the song is about a deep desire for love and to be with someone despite the distance. It is a tender and emotional plea for the object of affection to think of the singer and the love they share.
