Answer to My Prayer
Blue Magic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you ever leave me
I swear that you are the answer to my prayer
I prayed for a lot of thing's to come my way
You came and you brightened up my
Darkest days
You are the one that I've been waiting for
I cross my heart my love for you is pure
Don't you ever leave me
I swear that you are the answer to my prayer
I was such a lonely guy always alone
The blues were my only friend but now they're gone
I never knew that love could be so grand
You changed my life now I'm a happy man
Cause love is the answer to my prayer
Don't you ever leave me
I swear that you are the answer to my prayer
Love is the answer to my prayer
Don't you ever leave me
I swear that you are the answer to my prayer
Don't you ever leave me
I swear that love is the answer to my prayer
I swear that you are the answer to my prayer
Don't ever leave me
In the song "Answer to My Prayer," Blue Magic expresses the sheer joy of finding love after a period of loneliness and the despair of the blues. The lyrics convey the singer's absolute faith in love and his/her partner. The singer prays for love, and eventually, it arrives, sweeping away the darkness of loneliness and bringing joy in its place.
Blue Magic uses contrasting imagery to describe the state of the singer's life before and after love. The singer was "always alone" and the "blues" were their "only friend," but now that love has arrived, the "darkest days" are brightened up, and the singer is a "happy man." The singer's faith in the power of love is clearly evident in the repeated refrain, "Love is the answer to my prayer." The lyrics also suggest that the singer is ready to commit fully to the relationship and assures the partner that their love is pure and everlasting.
The song can be interpreted as an ode to the transformative power of love - a feeling that has the ability to change a person's life for the better. The lyrics serve as a love letter that expresses the singer's overwhelming gratitude for the love that has found them.

No date tonight, or no date for the weekend. Oh, No !
Its only Love, Its only love you seeking .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
She holds me tight and shows me good vibration.
And she feels so real, until I awaken .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
(MUSIC BREAK)
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
Sitting here, all alone, waiting by the telephone.
She's gone out with him . Come on home.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
