Lyrics
1. The nighttime, the nighttime is calling me
It’s dream time, sweet dream time, for you and me
I’m longing, I’m longing to close my eyes
For there a sweet vision lies
Chorus
My little dream girl, you pretty dream girl
Sometimes I seem girl, to own your heart
Each night you haunt me, by day you taunt me
I want you, I want you, I need you so
Don’t let me waken, learn I’m mistaken
Find my faith shaken, in you sweetheart
I’d sigh for, I’d cry for, sweet dreams forever
My little dream girl goodnight
2. While shadows are creeping through darkest night
In dreamland, sweet dreamland, there’s your lovelight
It’s beaming, it’s gleaming and all for me
Your vision I long to see
