Music: Bob Abner / Lyrics: Traditional Irish Song
I immediately loved the words to this love song (imho, words are like a cross between intimate sweetness and sacred compassion). But I didn't like the music for these lyrics, so I wrote new music.
Since my contribution is the music (and since I thought the words were already great), I'm interested in your response to (and feedback concerning) the music I wrote for these lyrics.
Bob, this had the feel (piano wise) of a Randy Newman song, except your voice is better. Great lyrics, but I guess that’s why you chose them. Beautiful song!

Beautiful melody and harmonies. Nice that someone is still writing this kind of songs.

VERSE
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 memories fly,
CHORUS
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,
VERSE
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,
CHORUS
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,
