Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the end of the day
In a dream that‘s divine...
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And our lips close to mine.
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!

My prayer is to linger with you
I pray to spend time with you
At the end of the day
After we have finished our work
In a dream that‘s divine...
In a peaceful and heavenly vision
My prayer is a rapture in blue
My prayer creates a state of blissful joy
With the world far away
Ignoring everything else
And our lips close to mine.
Our faces close together
Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
This evening, while we are full of happiness,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...
Please share the words I have been waiting to hear
My prayer and the answer you give,
The things I pray for and the response you give me
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
I hope our desires and your response always align during our lifetime
That you'll always be there
That you will always be present
At the end of my prayer!
When I am done praying

@Modeeus
The absolute best version of this song.
@IngDiegoVasquez_
I preffer this version. Doo-Woop version of The Platters too, but this is the best.
@classichollywoodfan
such a beautiful haunting song
@fredscholl5250
This music is gold. I heard the Glenn Miller orchestra at the Royal Box/Americana Hotel in NYC, circa 1964!
@jourwalis-8875
A good song and performance. But I think Glenn Miller and his orchestra is a bit to "streamlined" for my taste.
@robertedwards5184
I still prefer The Platters or the brilliant version by Gerry Munro performing this number. 😆
