Verse 1:
C     B7            Adim   G7

Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
F                    Fm
Birds singing in the sycamore tree

Dream a little dream of me.

Verse 2:
C       B7            Adim   G7
Say "Nightie-night" and kiss me
C    B7                A7
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
F                   Fm
While I'm alone and blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me.

Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you

But in your dreams whatever they be

Dream a little dream of me.
