mother dear

Lyrics

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?
