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 long to be with you intimately and spend more time together.
At the end of the day
After all our daily activities and responsibilities are done.
In a dream that's divine...
In a perfect dream-like world that feels like paradise.
My prayer is a rapture in blue
My wish is to experience a pleasant state of mind, like blue skies on a clear day.
With the world far away
By being with you, I want to forget the burden of the world and focus on our time together.
And our lips close to mine.
I want to kiss you and be in the moment.
Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
This evening, while we are both feeling emotional and full of affection,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...
Please say the words I am excitedly waiting to hear.
My prayer and the answer you give,
What I am hoping for and the response you provide.
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
My prayer and your answer should remain the same for our entire life.
That you'll always be there
I want you to be there for me in all situations.
At the end of my prayer!
In conclusion of everything I've yearned for and spoken about in this song.
