This song is about how a daydream about having a child and the child’s eventual birth changed a woman’s life around. It’s in it’s “counted” form.
My Little Dream of You
A
| 6 | A long, long time ago
|
| 6 | I dreamed a dream of you
|
| 7 | Just a little dream of you
|
| 9 | I didn’t know if it could come true
|
| 6 | My little dream of you
|
| 8 | But when I dreamed my dream of you
|
| 6 | My little dream of you
|
| 6-7 | It made me feel real good
|
B
| 9 | I didn’t know how my life would go
|
| 10 | No idea of the things I would do
|
| 7 | Or the people I would know
|
| 6 | Sometimes things moved real fast
|
| 9 | Other times they were going too slow
|
| 9 | But once in a while you would come back
|
| 10 | Into my dreams as I slept on my back
|
| 9 | Your little face would enchant my mind
|
| 9 | And I would wake still hearing your cries
|
| 9 | Awakening from my dreams of you
|
C
| 8 | You are my little saving grace
|
| 8 | Your birth took me out to a place
|
| 9 | Where I became a better person
|
| 10 | And though I am no longer number one
|
| 12-14 | Every day you teach me different ways to have fun
|
| 5 | When I look at you
|
| 9 | I know I am not the only one

|
| 6 | My little dream of you
|
| 8 | But when I dreamed my dream of you
|
| 6 | My little dream of you
|
| 6-7 | It made me feel real good

D
| 9 | When you came, your timing was just right |
| 7 | It would have been, day or night |
| 8 | Your coming made everything clear |
| 9 | It erased all of my life’s regrets |
| 8 | As I held you close to my breast |
| 9 | As I held you close, my dream came true |
| 6 | My little dream of you |
| 7-8 | And it made me feel real good |

| 10 | Into my dreams as I sleep on my back
|
| 9 | Your little face lingers in my mind
|
| 9 | As I awake from hearing your cries
|
| 9 | Awakening from my dreams of you
