(Decca Records) 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 Give me a little ole kiss 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 Yea I’m longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams gotta keep dreaming Leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be You got to make me a promise Promise to me you’ll dream Dream a little dream of me Yes, dream a little dream of me
