Lover's Prayer
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For love
For life and eternity
This is my prayer

I pray that our love
Is more than enough
To weather the storm
I pray that you're strong
The nights that I'm gone
And you're home alone
I pray you'll forgive
Whateva I did
That brought you the tears
I pray here right now
As I make this vow
We last through the years

Lover's prayer
When I get down on my knees at night
Lover's prayer
I pray God we gonna be alright
Lover's prayer
With my head down and my hands up high
Lover's prayer
How I hope he will answer my
Lover's prayer

I pray that the sun
Continues to shine
With all that you do
No matter the bad
No matter how low
you'll make it through
I pray that I'm there
Whateve you want whateva you need
I pray that your heart
Carries apart, apart of me

I pray that your smile would
Light up my life won't ever fade
I pray that the trials we share between
Us won't ever break
I pray that you hold all of
Your dreams you will exceed




My final prayer you'll take this ring
And you will bear my seed
