Dedicated to the one I love
SHIRELLES (THE) Lyrics

This is dedicated to the one I love
The singer is dedicating this song to their significant other

While I'm far away from you, my baby
The singer is currently far away from their significant other

I know it's hard for you, my baby
The singer understands that their absence is difficult for their significant other

Because it's hard for me, my baby
The singer is also finding it difficult to be away from their significant other

And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Things may seem difficult right now, but there is hope for better times ahead

Each night before you go to bed, my baby
The singer is requesting that their significant other perform a specific action every night before going to sleep

Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby
The singer wants their significant other to say a prayer for them before going to sleep

And tell all the stars above
The singer wants their significant other to share their message with the universe

Life can never be exactly like we want it to be
It may be difficult to achieve our ideal lives

But I can be satisfied just knowing you love me
Despite life's challenges, the singer is content with the love they receive

There's one thing I want you to do
The singer has a specific request for their significant other

Especially for me
The request is specifically for the singer

And it's something that everybody needs
Despite being a personal request, the singer believes this action is essential for everyone

This is dedicated to the one I love
Repeating the dedication to emphasize its importance
