BYE-LO-BYE by EDITH M. DELABY

First Line: BYE-LO, MY BABY, SOON YOU WILL GO
Last Line: DAWNING GREETS DREAMLAND'S SWEET BYE-LO-BYE.

Bye-lo, my baby, soon you will go
Drifting o'er films of happy bye-lo,
In your dreams flying through hazy dells,
To flowery lands where love ever dwells.

Slumber on while the silvery moon
Hovers above, while softly I croon
Lullabies, dreamy of slumberland,
While stars are forming their twinkling band.

Bye-lo, in slumber dream happy dreams,
Which will come drifting through moonlight beams.
Slumberland, dreamland, soon they will fly,
Dawning greets dreamland's sweet bye-lo-bye.
