Description

When the (C)curtains of night are pinned (F)back by the stars
And the (F)beautiful (C)moon leaps the (G)skies;(G7)
And the (C)dewdrops of heaven are (D7)kissing the rose
It is (G)then that my (G7)memory (C)flies;
As if on the wings of some (F)beautiful (C)dove,
In (F)haste with the (C)message it (G7)bears,
To (C)bring you a kiss of af- (F)fection and (C)say,
"Ill re- (G7member, you, love, in my (C)prayers."

CHORUS:
Go (C)where you will, on (F)land or on (C)sea,
I'll (F)share all your (C)sorrows and (G7)cares;
And at (C)night, when I kneel by my (F)bedside to (C)pray,
I'll re- (G7)member you, love, in my prayers.

I have loved you too fondly to ever forget
The love you have spoken to me,
And the kiss of affection still warm on my lips
When you told me how true you would be.
I know not if fortune be fickle or friend,
Or if time on your memory wears;
I know that I love you, wherever you roam,
And remember you, love, in my prayers.

When angels in heaven are guarding the good,
As God has ordained them to do,
In anseer to prayers I have offered to Him,
I know there is one watching you.
And may its bright spirit be with you through life,
To guide you up heavens' bright stairs,
And meet with the one who has loved you so true
And remembered you, love, in her prayers.
