1968年に発表されたママス&パパスの4作目にしてラスト・アルバム。当時夫婦だったジョン&ミシェル・フィリップスの自宅に作ったスタジオで録音されたと読んだことがあります。これまでの3作品に比べると本作品一つだけが極端に評価が低いのですが、そこまで違うという感じはありません。"Dream a Little Dream of Me"など素晴らしい曲も入っています。ちなみに、プロデュースはルー・アドラー、キャロル・キングの"Tapestry"含む初期の作品群をプロデュースした人です。

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me"

[Spoken:]
"...you keep pouring into one glass and you're never changing the straw."
"And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is...Mama Cass."

Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'.
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.

Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear -
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...

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.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear -
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
