Verse:
We meet at eve -ning time, 'Tis sweet at eve -ning time,
To know I'll spend an hour or two, Just with you.
Then when the hour grows late; I love to hes -i -tate__
The mo -ments seem so fleet -ing, While I am here re -peat -ing.
 
Chorus:
Stars shin -ing bright a -bove you, Night breez -es seem to whis -per, "I love you,"
Birds sing -ing in the syc -a -more tree, "Dream a lit -tle dream of Me."
Say "night -ie -night" and kiss me, Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me;
While I'm a -lone and blue as can be, Dream a lit -tle dream of me,
Stars fad -ing, but I lin -ger on, dear, Still crav -ing your kiss;
I'm long -ing to lin -ger till dawn, dear, Just say -ing this:
Sweet dreams till sun -beams find you, Sweet dreams that leave all wor -ries be -hind you,
But in your dreams what -ev -er they be, Dream a lit -tle dream of me.
