044 - Dream A Little Dream
Verse 1
We meet at eve-ning time, 'tis sweet at eve-ning time,
to know I'll spend an hour or two, just with you.
Then when the hour grows late; I love to hes-i-tate
the mo-ments seem so fleet-ing, while I am here re-peat-ing.
Chorus
Stars shin-ing bright a-bove you,
night breez-es seem to whis-per -‘I love you',
birds sing-ing in the syc-a-more tree,
Dream a little dream of me.
Say 'night-e-night' and kiss me,
just hold me tight and tell me -- you'll miss me;
while I'm a-lone as blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Bridge
Stars fad-ing, but I lin-ger on, dear,
still crav-ing your kiss;
I'm long-ing to lin-ger till dawn, dear,
just say-ing t-h-i-s.
Chorus
Sweet dreams till sun-beams find you,
sweet dreams that leave all wor-ries be-hind you,
But in your dreams what-ev-er they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Verse 2
I stand and say 'Good-night', it's grand to say 'Good-night',
then stay and say it o'er and o'er - by your door.
The milk-man hur-ries by, but sweet-heart here am I,
a-gain I fond-ly hold you, re-peat-ing all I've told you.
Chorus
Stars shin-ing bright a-bove you,
night breez-es seem to whis-per -‘I love you',
birds sing-ing in the syc-a-more tree,
Dream a little dream of me.
Say 'night-e-night' and kiss me,
just hold me tight and tell me -- you'll miss me;
while I'm a-lone as blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Bridge repeat
Stars fad-ing, but I lin-ger on, dear,
still crav-ing your kiss;
I'm long-ing to lin-ger till dawn, dear,
just say-ing t-h-i-s.
Chorus
Sweet dreams till sun-beams find you,
sweet dreams that leave all wor-ries be-hind you,
But in your dreams what-ev-er they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
