Did your mother tell you what it was that it reminded her of?
It reminde me of this Classical piece:

Joachim, That song sounds familiar maybe a hymn, from the Lutheran hymnal?

Thank you Joachim...
I recognize that song as something Mom would sing sometimes at bedtime. I never made that connection, but we all draw inspiration from somewhere don't we. She never made this connection either, so I can't say for sure. When I used to play this on Piano I would arpeggiate the left hand all the way through what the right hand was playing. What ever it was, she was a blubbering mess as soon as she saw Mom's Little German Song. She's 89 and I'm blessed to still have her and in good health too.

There's another possibility Craig... She was raised Lutheran so maybe it reminded her of one of the Hymns

Instead of that my mother sang out of tune, but she liked my music. My father used to sing it to me.
Graig, I hadn't heard the term Lutherian hymns before. Thanks for learning me about it!

Joachim,
That melody I know somehow, thought it might be sung in church. I was raised Lutheran and my relatives are all from that region in Europe.

Craig, it sounds like an old lullaby...don't remember the words but it went something along these lines:
Lullaby and good night....it's a Brahms Lullaby.
