Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Wayne King & 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 shining bright above you
The stars in the sky are shining brightly
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
The cool and gentle night breeze appears to say 'I love you'
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
There are birds chirping in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Have a pleasant dream of me tonight
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Say 'good night' to me and give me a kiss on the cheek
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
Embrace me tightly and promise that you will miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
I am all by myself and feeling quite sad
Dream a little dream of me
Have a wonderful dream of me tonight
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
The stars are slowly disappearing, but I am still here
Still craving your kiss
I still yearn for your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
I want to stay until the morning light, my dear
Just saying this
I am simply expressing this thought
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Have pleasant dreams until the sunlight finds you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
Have wonderful dreams that allow you to forget all your worries
But in your dreams whatever they be
But whatever your dreams may be
Dream a little dream of me
Please dream of me tonight

WAYNE KING 👑: Wayne King 👑 was a SMALLVILLE High classmate of CLARK KENT. Years later, the men encountered each other again when King 👑 was a social studies teacher at the old 🗝️ school 🏫. He invited a visiting Kent to speak 🗣️ to his class about his work as a METROPOLIS journalist. King however was disillusioned with his job and Clark Kent took it upon himself to change his friend's view. He teamed with Chris Parker Hunt a Smallville High student to help 🆘 convince Wayne that his career as a teacher was just as rewarding as any of the more "adventurous"ones he coveted! Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

We rented an apartment from Wayne King (a.k.a. Wayne Otey (sp?)) (circa 1975) who became a small time landlord in Urbana, Il, where the U of Illinois is. He put what money he made into real estate (a few apt. buildings) and lived on that after the big band era passed. He was the best landlord we ever had and did not attempt to rip us off like most small landlords in college towns ... Traruh Synred
