When the curtains of night are drawn back by the stars
E G D
And the beautiful moon lights the sky,
E G D C
And the dew drops of heaven are kissing the rose
C D e
Then my thoughts to my lassie will fly.
G D
As if on the wings of a beautiful dove
H C D
In haste with the message it bears
E G D C
Just to bring you a kiss of affection and say,
C D e
I4ll remember you, love, in my prayers.
When the angels of heaven are guarding the gate
As God has ordained them to do,
In answer to prayers I4ve offered to him,
I know there is one watching you.
So may that bright spirit be with you through life
To guide you all up to heaven4s bright stairs,
And tonight when I kneel by my bedside and pray,
I4ll remember you, love, in my prayers.
I loved you so greatly, dear, e4er I forget
The last words you whispered to me.
For the kiss of affection still burns on my cheek,
When you told me that true you would be.
So go where you may, if by land or by sea,
I shall keep all of your sorrows and cares,
Each night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
I4ll remember you, love, in my prayers.
