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?
