Dream Softly Lyrics by Volume Five

Voices

2015

[Verse 1]
Drivin' through ol' Hyden one cool summer night
Counting the stars and the clear moonlight sky
She fell asleep with her head on my shoulder
I started singing an old-time lullaby

[Chorus]
Dream softly, my love
Dream of flowin' mountain streams
Summertime and meadows green
Dream of bein' happy and free
Dream softly, my love and dream of me

[Verse 2]
I stopped the car in a rest stop in Kentucky
Rolled down my windows and breathed that Southern air
I kissed her lightly while she gently lay a-sleepin'
Whispered through the fragrancе of her creamy brown hair

[Chorus]
Dream softly, my lovе
Dream of flowin' mountain streams
Summertime and meadows green
Dream of bein' happy and free
Dream softly, my love and dream of me

[Verse 3]
Yesterday I saw her goin' home from the office
Smiling to herself as she climbed up three flights
Under her breath she was hummin' a tune
It was the song that I sang to her that night

[Chorus]
Dream softly, my love
Dream of flowin' mountain streams
Summertime and meadows green
Dream of bein' happy and free
Dream softly, my love and dream of me

[Outro]
Dream softly, my love and dream of me
