Dream a Little Dream of Me

Artist: Des O'Connor

Album: The Ultimate Ballroom Album 2

Song Length: 2:26

George's Thoughts: I haven't heard the original by Des O'Connor (the version on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 2" has been tempo-modified to regulation dance speed). Ella's is pretty close, but most versions of this song are too slow for dancing (including the hit version made popular in the 60's by The Mamas and the Papas). Nice piece though. If you have Ella or Des' versions either one would work well for social dances.

Song Lyrics:

Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you";
Birds singin' 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,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger til dawn, dear,
Just saying this:

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our 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;
I'm longing to linger til dawn dear,
Just saying this:

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our worries far behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
