I heard this song sung by Mama Cass in a French movie of all things the other night...very laid back and sweet. Wrote a narration to go with the song for my little band of followers who are all freezing their bottoms off at the moment.If it's any consolation, summer here has been lousy.
Stars shining bright above you
(I wish...weather is lousy)
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
(hardly...gale blowing last night)
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
(frozen feathered past moments)
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty night and kiss me
(ok just a peck)
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
(where are you going?)
While I'm alone and blue as can be
( all this rain is turning me into a blue vein mouldy cheese)
Dream A Little Dream of Me
Stars fading but I linger on dear
(that's me to a tee)
Still craving your kiss
(too old for that kind of caper)
I'm longing to linger til dawn dear
( far too late for me)
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
(that would be lovely)
Sweet Dreams that leave all worries behind you
( even better)
But in your dreams whatever they be
(You're always on my mind
Keep Warm!)
Dream a little dream of me
I love that song. Your asides are a little like the dialog that goes with "baby it's cold outside", a nice counterpoint.
ReplyDeleteSo it does! Glad you like it.You've got good taste kiddo!
ReplyDeleteI can just picture somebody answering back to the radio, as it plays this song - great fun! But how come no Parthian shot after the last line? Use of the word nightmare springs to mind, maybe...
ReplyDeleteWell that's the last time I'm helping you out with flamenco dancing.You're getting far too frisky!
ReplyDeleteI like what you have done with this...Mama Cass singing in the snow covered mountains...well I am warm already...thanks for this Rall

Love the intrusion of reality into the romantic dream.
Nice back and forth between the romantic and the realist,which parallels that, albeit more cynically, between the singer and her lover.
ReplyDeleteIs it a coincidence but we're all into song? I like your comments put to it anyway especially the caper bit.-Irene
ReplyDeleteNot cynical David just humorous.Cynicism has a touch of the blade which I'm also good at!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet thoughts as I freeze my bottom off! (Come July I will be wishing for cooler weather - never happy I guess...)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Cynthia.
