Lyrics
(Improvisation)
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
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
Oh how you linger on
Still craving your kiss
How you crave my kiss
Now i'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Give me a little 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
(Improvisation)
Stars fading but i linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Yeah, i'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this, yes
Sweet dreams
(Louis)
Dreamin'
Till sunbeams find you
Keep dreaming
Gotta keep dreamin'
Leave your worries far behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
You gotta make me a promise
Promise to me you'll dream
Dream a little dream of me
