Dream a Little Dream of Me - Mama Cass (Song Cover)

avatar
(Edited)


Today I'd like to share a little video from our last Jam Session.

I call myself very lucky to have so many musically minded friends to join forces with; you all know some of them here on Hive: @steevc, @purplesinger, @daniellemurray and @todayslight.

John has been a long-time member of the "Arlesey Jammers", which isn't a band, but a group of like-minded people meeting up to have fun making music together.
I am always happy when he plays this one for me as it's one of my favourite songs that I haven't mastered yet to play and sing at the same time.

For John it was one of the first ones he learned when picking up the guitar many, many years ago, which is amazing, as it's very difficult to play; but it served him well and he's now one or our most proficient players! He is still very grateful that his teacher challenged him from the start like this.

I have to admit that I felt a little tipsy that afternoon after having had one teeny-weeny Shandy; to start with and I was worried it would go all pear shaped, but I think I got away with it! Phew... And, yes, you guessed it, I don't normally drink.. haha

Anyway, hope, you enjoy this one! Thanks for watching..

Lyrics

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, 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 that leave all 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 till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

John is such a great guitarist and a nice guy. I know he's not into internet technology, so he may not see this. I love hearing you guys do this.

Greetings dear friend! It is always so nice to hear from you.

How nice that your friend accompanied you for this song! He is an excellent guitarist, we always need help for some piece that we can't sing and play at the same time.

I think it was a really fun evening, because you even drank a little heh heh heh heh, how wonderful! I almost every time I get together with friends to play something we have to drink, I'm not as decent as you.

I love your voice, this song really suits you perfectly! Thanks for sharing this sister! You are amazing. 😃💯🎆👏🍻🎶🎵🤩🎉🎊✨🙌👊👊🙏

The song is quite old, but has been made most popular by Mama Cass in the late 60s
