Dream On 1922 Victor Herbert

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Jul 2005

When the red Indian sun bids his goodbye;
Mother sees Cherokee's sleeptime's nigh.
When the fastfading day leaves a gray sky.
Twilight comes, then she hums this lullaby.
Dream on, mother is holding you,
Ahyah, Ahyah;
Dream on, night is enfolding you,
Ahyah, Ahyah;
Some fair silver canoe
Carries you through into Dreamland,
Over a blue lagoon,
where the crickets croon,
Ahyah, Ahyah;
Dream on, Mother is holding you,
Ahyah, Ahyah;
Dream on, night is enfolding you,
Ahyah, Ahyah;
New moon slender and frail
quickly will pale and be gone,
and you'll come back to me then
in the rose of the dawn.
