Oh I am so blue when I think that you Were once my own My heart, how it yearns the flame still burns But I'm alone Not a word was spoken my heart was broken But I still care So I will just pray and suffer all day And say a lover's prayer
Some day your eyes will fill with tears When you need me You'll think it's too late, but my love will wait Until eternity Some times when I'm out and having fun My tears disappear But deep in my heart, you're the only one Oh answer my lover's prayer
A lover's prayer is said, my dear So you'll be mine I'll cry no longer, my love will grow stronger As wedding bells chime But that's just a dream I pray will come true 'Cause I'll still care Where ever you are, I'll always love you Please answer my lover's prayer
