I'll Remember You Love in My Prayers
The Seldom Scene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars
And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky
Dewdrops 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
And 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 offer to Him
I know there's one waiting for you

Now go where you will upon land or on sea
And 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





Well at night as I kneel by my bedside to pray
I'll remember you, love, in my prayers

Overall Meaning

The Seldom Scene's song, "I'll Remember You Love in My Prayers," is a beautiful tribute to the enduring nature of love and the power of prayer. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a nighttime scene, where the stars and moon hang in the sky, and dewdrops gently kiss the roses. The singer reflects on a loved one who is far away, and sends them a "kiss of affection" on the wings of a dove. He promises to remember them in his prayers, and calls upon the angels of heaven to look after them.


The second verse speaks to the universality of human experience, and the shared sorrows and cares that bind us all together. No matter where the loved one goes, the singer promises to be there for them, sharing their burdens and offering support. The final verse bookends the song, with the singer once again kneeling by his bedside to pray and remember his loved one. The song leaves a comforting impression of the constancy of love, and the power of prayer to bring us together.
