Dream a Little Dream of MeElla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Songwriter: Fabian Andre Wilbur Schwandt Gus Kahn

[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald]
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

[Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald]
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
Dream a little dream of me

[Verse 3: Louis Armstrong]
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Now I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

[Verse 4: Ella Fitzgerald]
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

[Verse 3: Both]
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

[Outro: Both]
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Leave the worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever may be
You've gotta make me a promise, promise to me
You'll dream, dream a little dream of me

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Both household names at the time of their first recording together, the dynamic duo of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded their eponymous debut on August 16, 1956, in Hollywood’s then newly-built Capitol Studios. The record covered eleven standards with the backing of the Oscar Peterson Quartet. Although they had previously collaborated in the late 1940s for the Decca label, Ella and Louis began a critical and commercial streak for the pair, with many follow-ups under Norman Granz’s Verve Records; including 1957’s Ella and Louis Again and their 1959 collection of songs from the Porgy and Bess.
