Mother Kissed Me In My Dream - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Mother Kissed Me in My Dream. 
Lying on my dying bed, thro' the dark and silent night, Praying for the coming day, came a vision to my sight; Near me stood the form I loved, in the sunlight's mellow gleam, Folding me unto her breast, mother kissed me in my dream-Folding me unto her breast, mother kissed me in my dream. 
Comrades, tell her when you write that I did my duty well; Say that when the battle faired, fighting In van I fell; Tell her. too, when on my bed, slowly ebbed my being's stream. How I knew no place until mother kissed me in my dream-How I knew no peace until mother kissed me in my dream. 
Once again I long to see home and kindred far away. But I feel I shall be gone ere there dawns another day. Hopefully I bide the hour when will fade life's feeble beam, Every pang has left me now, mother kissed me in my dream-Every pang has left me now, mother kissed me in my dream.
