When I wake alone at night, and you’re so far away I say a little prayer for you, and everything’s okay There’s sunlight in your sparkling eyes, and summer in your smile I’m sending out this little prayer, you’ll stay here for a while ‘Cause heaven knows I been lonely Oh, but mercy came to me Heaven must have sent you down To set my poor heart free So when I fall asleep at night, your angel face I see Thank heaven for this little prayer that sent you here to me ‘Cause heaven knows I been lonely Oh, but mercy came to me Heaven must have sent you down To set my poor heart free So when I fall asleep at night, your angel face I see Thank heaven for this little prayer that sent you here to me Thank heaven for this little prayer that sent you here to me
