Lyrics

  1. Last night I dreamed that someone kissed me
    It was so nice, I thought of Paradise
    Somebody’s two arms
    Just stretched right out to hold me
    Two wonderful lips
    Just pressed right close to mine
    Mm, mm

Chorus
Sweet kisses that came in the night
Sweet kisses, they brought me delight
I sure do like my hone and sugar a lot
But they’re not half as sweet as the kisses I got
Sweet kisses, who gave them to me?
Sweet kisses, now who can it be?
Oh! Mister dream man, hear my plea
I’m his honey and he’s my bee
I hope he doesn’t buzz around nobody but me
Sweet kisses that came in the night

  1. Last night, somebody said “I love you”
    I tried to see the one who spoke to me
    Somebody’s sweet smile
    Just seemed to hypnotize me
    Two wonderful eyes kept gazing into mine
    Mm, mm
