The Prayer

written by: Yours truely Copywrite: 1997

I'm drivin' down this lonely ol' highway
Thinkin' 'bout when you were goin' my way
The skies above twinkles with heavenly stars

My lights burn bright, shining with vigor
And why you left me I just couldn't figure
We were together, the world just seemed to be ours

But your heart went away
Couldn't get you to stay
The pain inside gets stronger everyday

I mark the days that I live without you
The time lies it's been months that I've gone through
But a lifetime of pain I fell through since you went away

Like a blind man walking I stumbled into you
You were my hope, nothing else, just you
Just to be with you brightened up every day

But your heart went away
Couldn't get you to stay
The pain inside's gettin' stronger everyday

You are my life
You are my dream
And deep in the night I just want to scream
God hear my prayer
I know that she cares
Please I'm praying to thee
Bring her back home to me

If love could kill I would be a martyr
'Cause Heaven knows I can't work any harder
To earn you back, my one and only desire

I lie awake dreading the feelin'
To wake without you and just not be dreaming
To dream our love is burnin' on a funeral pyre

But the nights got cold
And the days grew long
I don't know how much more I can take just holdin' on

You are my life
You are my dream
And deap in the night I just want to scream
God hear my prayer
I know that she cares
Please I'm praying to thee
Bring her back home to me

You are my life
You are my dream
And deep in the night I just want to scream
God hear my prayer
I know that she cares
Please I'm begging of thee
Bring her back home to me
