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?
