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
