Verse 1:
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
(band enters)
Chorus:
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
D7sus4 [N.C.] [2: Em, to coda]
This is dedicated to the one I love
Bridge 1:
(Life can never be exactly like we want it to be)
I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(But there's one thing I want you to do especially for me)
And it's something that everybody needs

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby

This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated to the one I love
