Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is dedicated to the one I love
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 (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Each night before you go to bed, my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love (Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
Life can never be exactly like we want it to be
But I can be satisfied just knowing you love me
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs
[Verse 4]
Each night before you go to bed, my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love (Oh, oh)
This is dedicated to the one I love (Oh, oh)
This is dedicated to the one I love (Oh, oh)
