Dream a Little Dream of Me

{Description}
“Dream a Little Dream of Me” is a 1931 song written by Fabian Andre, Wilbur Schwandt, and Gus Kahn. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s recording of this song was most recently featured in the fourth season of Stranger Things. I’ve been meaning to learn this tune for a while, so watching the show gave me the final push to learn it. I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I do!

{Lyrics}
Stars shinin’ bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singin’ 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

Sweet dreams ‘till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams to leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
