DREAM A LITTLE DREAM The Mamas & the Papas

4/4 1234

Stars shining bright a-bove you Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you.”

Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me.

Say “Nightie-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 ‘til dawn, dear Just saying this…

Sweet dreams ‘til sunbeams find you

Sweet dreams that leave all worries be-hind you

But in your dreams what-ever they be Dream a little dream of me.

But in your dreams what-ever they be Dream a little dream of me.
