Curtains of Night

When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars
 And the beautiful moon sweeps the skies
 And the dewdrops of heaven are kissing the rose
 It is then that my memory flies
 As if on the wings of some beautiful dove
 In haste with the message it bears
 To bring you a kiss of affection and say
 I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
 Go where you will on land or by sea
 I'll share all your sorrows and cares
 And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
 I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
 I have loved you too fondly to ever forget
 The love you have spoken for me
 The kiss of affection still worn on my lips
 When you told me how true you would be
 I know not if fortune be fickle or friend
 Or if time will your memory wear
 But I know that I'll love you wherever you roam
 And remember you, love, in my prayers
 Go where you will on land or by sea
 I'll share all your sorrows and cares
 And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
 I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
 While the angels in heaven 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
 And may its bright spirit be with you through life
 To guide you up heaven's bright stairs
 And be with the one who has loved you so true
 And remembers you, love, in his prayers
 Go where you will on land or by sea
 I'll share all your sorrows and cares
 And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
 I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
 Go where you will on land or by sea
 I'll share all your sorrows and cares
 And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
 I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
 And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
 I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
