Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The hours I spent with thee.
Dear heart, Are as a string of pearls to me
I count them over each one apart
My rosary, my rosary
[Verse 2]
Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer
To still a heart in absence wrung
I tell each bead unto the end
And there a cross is hung
[Verse 3]
Oh memories that bless and burn,
Oh barren bargain, oh bitter loss
I touch each bead at last to learn to kiss the cross
To kiss the cross, the cross, sweetheart
