Dream o' Nights

Do you ever dream o' nights, little sleepy eyes?

Do you ever dream o' dragons dread and grim?

And a fairy prince who'd rescue you from danger

If you would give your life and love to him?

Do you ever dream o' catching little fishes,

Or did you ever dream you caught a whale?

And don't you know a certain merry mermaid

Whose legs have gone and grown into a tail?

Do you ever dream o' Heaven, little sleepy eyes?

And angels with their lovely rainbow wings?

Or do you only dream about your mother

And the funny little lullabies she sings?
