Mary's Prayer
Chateau Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being here is heavenly
Every single day, she says
Everything is free
I used to be so careless
As if I couldn't care less
Did I have to make mistakes when I was Mary's prayer?
Suddenly the heavens rolled
Suddenly was washed away
The Mary that I knew
So when you find somebody who gives
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake when I was Mary's Prayer
So if I say save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in heaven for me
Blessed is the one who shares
The power and your beauty, Mary
Blessed is the millionaire
Who shares your wedding day
So when you find somebody to give
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake when I was Mary's Prayer
So if I say save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in heaven for me
If you want the fruit to fall
You have to give the tree a shake
But if you shake the tree too hard
The bough is gonna break
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
Mary you can hold me up there
What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer
So if I say save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
If I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
If I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer
What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer
What I wouldn't give to be (save me) when I was Mary's prayer
