Dreaming Of Mother's Angel Face - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Dreaming of Mother's Angel Face. Copyright, 1882. by W. H. Rieger. 
Days long departed come now to me, Joys that were mine so long ago; Visions of beauty 'round me I see, Voices of gladness wake soft and low. Back to my home in fancy I stray, Dreaming of days so far, far away; Fond are the lips that greet me again, Gladly I meet each warm embrace; Dear to my heart, tho' sad was its pain, There smiles my mother's bright angel face. 
Chorus. Dreaming, dreaming, day by day, Dreaming, dreaming, though afar I stray; Smiling and pure in sweet gentle grace. Dreaming of mother's angel face. 
Sweet are the thoughts it fondly recalls, Once more a child I'm kneeling there; Over the homestead night softly falls, Gently is whispered love's holy prayer. Time takes away each hope and each joy, Visions of home it ne'er can destroy; Cherished for aye with love true and deep, Nothing on earth can e'er replace; Still in my heart one treasure I'll keep, That Is my mother's bright angel face.-Chorus.
