My Prayer
PJ Proby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when the twilight is gone you come into my heart
and here in my heart you will stay while i pray
my prayer is to linger with you
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 your lips close to mine
tonight while our hearts are aglow
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
The lyrics of PJ Proby's song "My Prayer" are poetic and express a sense of longing and yearning for someone.

This prayer seems to be a plea for their love to remain with them, perhaps forever.
The song then talks about the dreamy realm of love where one wants to linger, the rapture in blue, which is a metaphor for being lost in a blissful moment. The world is far away, while their lips are close, emphasizing the intimacy they desire.

when the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When it becomes dark, and there is silence all around
when the twilight is gone you come into my heart
Thoughts of you fill up my heart like a ray of light in the dark
and here in my heart you will stay while i pray
You will remain in my heart as I communicate with the divine
my prayer is to linger with you
I desire to be with you always
at the end of the day in a dream that's divine
In a peaceful and heavenly dream at the conclusion of the day
my prayer is a rapture in blue
My prayer is an ecstatic experience, filled with love and affection
with the world far away and your lips close to mine
In a place far from the world, where I feel your presence
tonight while our hearts are aglow
At this very moment, our hearts are full of love and warmth
oh tell me the words that i'm longing to know
Please let me know what I've been yearning to hear from you
my prayer and the answer you give
The request I make and the response you provide
may they still be the same for as long as we live
May our desires and actions stay unchanged throughout our lives
that you'll always be there at the end of my prayer
My hope is that you will always be by my side as I finish my prayers
