Subject: Lyr Add: THINK ON ME (Alicia Ann Scott)
This song brought me to the Mudcat in 1999. I was searching for the lyrics, and it was not in the database, nor did anyone seem to be familiar with it. I finally located sheet music to the song from the Willis Music Company. It use to be included regularly in encores at recitals performed by classical vocalists. Two artists that I know included this in programs were: Ann Merriman, who was a member of the Bach Aria Group in the 60's and Thomas L. Thomas who starred on the Firestone Hour on radio and TV for several years. the song:

THINK ON ME
Alicia Ann Scott

1. When I no more behold thee,
Think on me.
By all thine eyes have told me,
Think on me.
When hearts are lightest,
When eyes are brightest,
When griefs are slightest,
Think on me,
Think, oh think, oh think on me,
Think, think on me.

2. In all thine hours of gladness,
Think on me.
If e'er I soothed thy sadness,
Think on me.
When foes are by thee,
When woes are nigh thee,
When friends all fly thee,
Think on me,
Think, oh think, oh think on me,
Think, think, on me.

3. When thou hast none to cheer thee,
Think on me.
When no fond heart is near thee,
Think on me.
When lonely sighing,
O'er pleasure flying,
When hope is dying,
Think on me,
Think, oh think, oh think on me,
Think, think, on me.
