From the recording I'LL REMEMBER YOU, LOVE, IN MY PRAYERS
We've heard a few variations of this traditional song; the droning quality of this version seemed to lend itself to dulcimer and some open-fifth harmony.
Lyrics
When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars
And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky
Dew drops from heaven are kissing the rose
It's then that my memory flies
Well, upon the wings of a beautiful dove
I'll hasten this message of cheer
I’ll bring you a kiss of affection and say
I’ll remember you, Love, in my prayers
Now the angels of heaven are guarding the good
As God has ordained them to do
In answer to prayers that I offered to Him
I know there’s one waiting for you
Now go where you will on land or on sea
I’ll share all your sorrows and cares
At night as I kneel by my bedside to pray
I’ll remember you, Love, in my prayers
