  *++Lyrics:|\\
Dear Mother, in dreams I see her,\\
With loved face sweet and calm.\\
And hear her voice with love rejoice,\\
When nestling on her arm.\\
I think how she softly pressed me,\\
Of the tears in each glistening eye,\\
As her watch she'd keep when she rocked to sleep,\\
Her child with this lullaby:\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye,\\
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye.\\
Bye-bye, drowsiness o'er-taking, pretty little eyelids sleep.\\
Bye-bye, watching 'til there's waking, Darling be thy slumber deep.\\
Bye-bye, drowsiness o'er-taking, pretty little eyelids sleep.\\
Bye-bye, watching 'til there's waking, Darling be thy slumber deep.\\
Bye-bye, bye-bye.\\
\\
Ah! E'en when her life was ebbing,\\
Her words were all of me.\\
My future years were all her fears,\\
Her fate 'twas not to see.\\
My father, I heard you weeping,\\
As in sorrow you standing by.\\
And my mother's plaint in her accents faint,\\
This tender sweet lullaby:\\
\\
