Lyrics: My Prayer
When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone, you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I prayMy 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 mineTonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh, tell me the words that I’m longing to knowMy 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
