American Old Time Song Lyrics: 33 Happy Be Thy Dreams

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 33

HAPPY BE THY DREAMS.

Oh! happy, happy, happy be thy dreams,
Bright be the vision that before thee lies;
Dreams of radiant hills and sunlit streams.
Dreams of the bright and blue unclouded skies.
Sleep, for thy mother watches by thy side:
O'er thee, unseen, the watchful spirits glide,
Pure as the star that o'er thee mildly beams;
Oh! happy, happy, happy be thy dreams,
Happy, happy, happy be thy dreams.

Oh! happy, happy be thy path in life,
Long still thy mother's tender love to share.
Till heaven has called her from this vale of strife.
And purer bliss succeed to worldly care!
Then, if t he angels earthward turn their eyes,
She will watch o'er thee from the radiant skies.
Sleep while you star still o'er thee mildly beams;
Oh! happy, happy, happy be thy dreams,
Happy, happy, happy be thy dreams!
