When the curtains of night are drawn back by the stars
And a beautiful moon lights the sky
And the dewdrops from heaven are kissing the rose
My thoughts to you, darling, do 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 heavenly angels are guarding the good
As God has ordained them to do
In answer to prayers I have offered to him
I know there is one watching you
Oh, may that bright spirit be with you through life
And guide you up heaven's bright stairs
And tonight as I kneel by my bedside to pray
I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
