Lyrics
  • Mother, I’m Dreaming of You Verse: The day is now ending, the twilight is blending the gold with the blue
  • And with the gloaming, my thoughts go a-roaming, homeward, dear mother, to you. Refrain: Mother I’m dreaming of you, dear, here in the campfire’s glow, And in all my dreams, I’m seeing it seems, that home I used to know. I feel your arms twine about me, I feel you kissing me too, And I know I’ve been bless’d, for at night when I rest, Mother, I’m dreaming of you. Verse: Whenever I’m weary, thru’ nights long and dreary, then I think of you
  • Then life seems brighter, the burden much lighter, sweet thoughts come back to me too. Refrain
