“Come Back to Me in My Dreams” was written by Bill Monroe. He recorded it in the mid-1940s, though that version went unreleased, and it appeared on record when Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys cut it again in 1958.
The song is a sentimental bluegrass ballad of loss. Parted from someone he loves, the singer asks only that they return to him in his dreams — the one place the lost love can still be found — and the lyric stays with that wistful longing.
The song was taken up by later bands drawn to Monroe’s writing.
