My Prayer
Gerry Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
is to linger with you
at the end of the day
in a dream that's devine
My prayer
is the rapture in blue
with the world far away
and your lips close to mine
while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words
that I'm longing to know
My prayer
and the answer you give
may they still be the same
for as long as we live
that you'll always be there
at the end of my prayer
(Tonight) Got to be tonight
(while our hearts are aglow) when the lights are low
Oh tell me the words
that I'm longing to know
My prayer
and the answer you give
may they still be the same
for as long as we live
that you'll always be there
at the end of my prayer

In a peaceful and heavenly dream
