My Prayer
Ernie Fields and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My silent prayer is for the love we knew
If it should reach all of the heart of you
I'll offer the heart you had manage to break
I'll offer the love that forgave your mistake
Deep in my heart you still belong to me
I only know I'll never, never be free
Please don't consider the love a closed episode
The love that we knew comes to few
For my silent love is for you and only for you
