🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • Stars fading but I linger on dear
  • Still craving your kiss
  • I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
  • Just saying this
dreamdreamslittle
