Hug me closer mother closer
Put your arms around me tight
For I'm cold and tired dear mother
And I feel so strong tonight.

Something hurts me here dear mother
Like a stone upon my breast
Oh, I wonder mother wonder what I did
As I cannot rest.

All the day while you were working
As I lay upon my bed
I was trying to be patient
And to think of what you'd said.

How the king dear blessed Jesus
Loves his lambs to watch and keep
Oh, I wish he'd come and take me
In his arms that I might sleep.

Just before the lamps were lighted
Just before the children came
While the room was very quiet
I heard someone call my name.

All at once a window opened
On a field of lambs and sheep
Some far out in a brook were drinking
Some were lyin' fast asleep.

In a moment I was looking
On a world so bright and fair
Which was filled with little children
And they seemed so happy there.

They were singing, oh, so sweetly
Sweetest songs I ever heard
They were singing sweeter mother
Than our darling little birds.

But I could not see the Saviour
Though I strained my eyes to see
Oh, I wonder if he saw me
Would he speak to such as me.

All at once a window opened
One so bright upon me smiled
And I knew it must be Jesus
When he said come here my child.

Come up here my little Bessie
Come up here and live with me
Where little children never suffer
Suffer through eternity.

Then I thought of all you told me
Of that bright and happy land
I was going when you called me
When you came and kissed my hand.

And at first I felt so sorry
You had called I would go
Oh, to sleep and never suffer mother
Don't be crying so.

Hug me closer mother closer
Put your arms around me tight
Oh, how much I love you mother
And how strong I feel tonight.

And her mother pressed her closer
To her own dear burdened breast
On the heart so near it's breaking
Lay the heart so near it's rest.

At the solemn hour of midnight
In the darkness calm and deep
Lying on her mother's bosom
Little Bessie fell asleep...


Mirror lyrics:

Little Bessie fell asleep...
Lying on her mother's bosom
In the darkness calm and deep
At the solemn hour of midnight

Lay the heart so near it's rest.
On the heart so near it's breaking
To her own dear burdened breast
And her mother pressed her closer

And how strong I feel tonight.
Oh, how much I love you mother
Put your arms around me tight
Hug me closer mother closer

Don't be crying so.
Oh, to sleep and never suffer mother
You had called I would go
And at first I felt so sorry

When you came and kissed my hand.
I was going when you called me
Of that bright and happy land
Then I thought of all you told me

Suffer through eternity.
Where little children never suffer
Come up here and live with me
Come up here my little Bessie

When he said come here my child.
And I knew it must be Jesus
One so bright upon me smiled
All at once a window opened

Would he speak to such as me.
Oh, I wonder if he saw me
Though I strained my eyes to see
But I could not see the Saviour

Than our darling little birds.
They were singing sweeter mother
Sweetest songs I ever heard
They were singing, oh, so sweetly

And they seemed so happy there.
Which was filled with little children
On a world so bright and fair
In a moment I was looking

Some were lyin' fast asleep.
Some far out in a brook were drinking
On a field of lambs and sheep
All at once a window opened

I heard someone call my name.
While the room was very quiet
Just before the children came
Just before the lamps were lighted

In his arms that I might sleep.
Oh, I wish he'd come and take me
Loves his lambs to watch and keep
How the king dear blessed Jesus

And to think of what you'd said.
I was trying to be patient
As I lay upon my bed
All the day while you were working

As I cannot rest.
Oh, I wonder mother wonder what I did
Like a stone upon my breast
Something hurts me here dear mother

And I feel so strong tonight.
For I'm cold and tired dear mother
Put your arms around me tight
Hug me closer mother closer

Popular Songs:
snã´le mi jente

two completely different things

dance into the light

heavy

she's still there

lonely river

hide the scissors, lock the door

tã´ caindo fora

mister class and quality

don't miss this moment

someday we'll know

just a breath

la canzone del dito

rester la mãºme

le meilleur des mondes

hold on

when it rains it snows

inolvidable

lumiere in technicolor
