Curtains of Night
Lyrics
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
