Dream A Little Dream
This haunting choral reimagining of Dream a Little Dream of Me turns the beloved familiar standard inside out. What begins as a tender invitation to dream slowly changes into something far more sinister: a recurring nightmare that the dreamer cannot escape. A featured treble soloist introduces darker new lyrics and transformations of the beloved melody in a minor key, as comforting words become increasingly threatening. By the final moments, the song reaches a spine-tingling climax, then ends with a dramatic pianissimo as the vocals fade back into the shadows.

Stars shining bright above you The night wind whispers I love you Birds spring in the sycamore tree While you dream a little dream Time to say good night Close your eyes real tight And while you're alone and blue as can be Won't you dream a little dream of me? The stars are fading out While I linger on There's no escaping now Until the dawn And when the sunbeams finally find you You can leave your worries behind you Go back to reality Free from the memory Of a sweet little dream It was just a little dream Did you dream a little dream It was just a little dream And when the night comes back to find you I guarantee it will remind you That in your dreams you'll never be free Dream a little dream of me Dream a little dream
