Oh Mother dear

What a night this has been

I awoke in the light of a vision in white

The prettiest girl that I have ever seen

Lately my love, said the lady in white

I have watched from afar, but love draws me near

Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear

Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?

Was it just another dream..... in the night?



Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white

He said his name was death, was he right?

Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?

Was it just another dream..... in the night?

Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?

Was it just another dream..... in the night?



Mother dear, what a night this has been

It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see?

Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear

Was it just another dream, Mother dear?
