Lyrics

[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

[Chorus]

Each night before you go to bed, my baby

Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, yeah

And tell all the stars above

This is dedicated to the one I love

[Bridge]

Life can never be exactly like we want it to be

I could be satisfied knowing you love me

[PreChorus]

If there's one thing I want you to do

Especially for me

And it's something that everybody needs

[Chorus]

While I'm far away from you, my baby

Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, yeah

Because it's hard for me, my baby

And the darkest hour is just before dawn

[PreChorus]

If there's one thing I want you to do

Especially for me

Then it's something that everybody needs

[Chorus]

Each night before you go to bed, my baby

Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, yeah

And tell all the stars above

This is dedicated to the one I love

[Outro]

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

This is dedicated
