Lyrics: Dedicated To The One I Love
While I’m far away from you, my baby,
I know it’s hard for you, my baby,
Because it’s hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn –Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There’s one thing I want you to do especially for me –
And it’s something that everybody needs.While I’m far away from you, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it’s hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.If there’s one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it’s something that everybody needs…Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above –
This is dedicated to the one I love.
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated…
