Lyrics

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore trees
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 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

Instrumental

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 you worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be - dream a little of me
dream a little of me - dream a little of me
