I'll Remember You In My Prayers

When the curtains of night are drawn back by the stars

And the beautiful moon lights the sky,

And the dew drops of heaven are kissing the rose

Then my thoughts to my lassie will fly.

As if on the wings of a beautiful dove

In haste with the message it bears

Just to bring you a kiss of affection and say,

I'll 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 I've 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, ever 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

I'll remember you, love, in my prayers.
