First
Verse
I am dreaming of you, sweetheart, and the
homestead, WHere the robins used to build beneath the eaves,
Of the moonlight on the gently flowing river, And the willows
where the ring dove softly grieves. As of old I see my mother
by the fireside, She is waiting as in happy days I knew, And
the world, sweetheart, to me seems wide and lonely, When I
dream of home and mother and of you.
Second
Verse
In my dreams I hear the whippoorwill at
evening, Where the deeper shadows lie among the hills, Once
again I breath the fragrance of the clover, And it's sweet
ness all my heart with yearning fills. In my arms, sweetheart,
once more I gently hold you, As you whisper I'll be true tho'
far you stray, And there's something seems to tell me I'll
be with you, And with mother and the old home far away.
Chorus
When I dream of home and mother And the
scenes I love so dear, Where it seems to me the skies are
always blue, Then my heart is filled with longing, For sweet
mem'ries come a thronging, When I dream of home and my dear
mother, and of you!
