  *++Lyrics:|\\
Last night I dreamed of my Halley\\
Of my Halley, my sweet Halley\\
Last night I dreamed of my Halley\\
For the thought of her is one that never dies\\
\\
She's sleeping now in the valley\\
In the valley, my sweet Halley\\
She's sleeping now in the valley\\
And the Mockingbird is singing where she lies\\
\\
Listen to the Mockingbird, listen to the Mockingbird\\
Oh the Mockingbird is singing oe'er her grave\\
Listen to the Mockingbird, listen to the Mockingbird\\
Still singing where the yellow roses grow\\
\\
How well do I yet remember\\
I remember, I remember\\
How well do I yet remember\\
For the thought of her is one that never dies\\
\\
It was in that sweet September\\
In September, I remember\\
It was in that sweet September\\
That the Mockingbird was singing far and wide\\
\\
Listen to the Mockingbird, listen to the Mockingbird\\
Oh the Mocking bird still singing oe'er her grave\\
Listen to the Mockingbird, listen to the Mockingbird\\
Oh the Mockingbird still singing in the spring\\
\\
