Sweet Dreamt Of Mother And Home - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Sweet Dreamt of Mother and Home. Copyright, 1885, by Henry J. Wehman. ords by George Cooper.-Music by J. P. Skelly. 
Life has its pleasure, and life has its pain, Still we can never forget-Joys of our childhood now greet us again, Bright in our memories yet! Oft in our visions a dear face appears, Cheering our steps while we roam; Oft do we treasure, in sadness and tears, Sweet dreams of mother and home. 
Chorus. Sweet dreams of mother, in joy or in pain, Tho' from her side now I roam; Sweet dreams of home, I may ne'er see again, Sweet dreams of mother and home. 
Still we recall every scene of our youth, Bright as the stars; in their glow; Smiles that were beaming with kindness and truth, Fonder than all that we know. Sad was the hour when I bade her adieu-Still her fond worjls do I hear; Fondest of pleasures' that life ever knew, Sweet dreams of mother, so dear.-Chorus. 
Time now has faded; the cheeks once so fair, Mother is passing away; God bless her ever, is my fondest prayer. Breathed unto heaven each day; Still, while I wander, her vision appears, Bright as the stars in yon dome; Oft do they dim now mine eye-lids with tears, Sweet dreams of mother and home.-Chorus.
