  • 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? Writer/s: JOHN LEES, LES HOLROYD, MELVYN PRITCHARD, STUART J WOLSTENHOLME
