Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything is wonderful
Being here is heavenly
Every single day she sends
Everything is free
I used to be so careless
As if I couldn't care less
Did I have to make this face when I was Mary's prayer?
[Verse 2]
Suddenly the heavens roared
Suddenly the rain came down
Suddenly was washed away
The Mary that I knew
So when you find somebody you keep
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake
When I was Mary's prayer
[Chorus]
So if I say, save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven for me
[Verse 3]
Blessed is the one who shares
Your power and your beauty, Mary
Blessed is the Millionaire
Who shares your wedding day
So when you find somebody you keep
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake
When I was Mary's prayer
[Chorus]
So if I say, save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven for me
[Verse 4]
If you want the fruit to fall
Have to give the tree a shake
If you shake the tree too hard
Bough is gonna break
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
Mary, you can blow me up there
What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer
[Chorus]
So if I say, save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
If I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
If I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
[Outro]
What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer
What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer (What I wouldn't give to be)
Save me
When I was Mary's prayer
