Why did it have to end so soon?   Why did you go away?   Although I know it may never come true   I hope to see you someday      And I'll always remember   Those times that we shared   So if you're listening from up above   This is my prayer      You've brought so much joy to this world of mine   Whenever I needed, you came   A friend like you is so hard to find   Without you, it won't be the same      And though many will try   No one can ever compare   So if you're listening from up above   This is my prayer      May the mountains rise to meet you   May the skies open wide   Know that in my heart, my friend   You will always be alive      There are so many things that I want you to know   So many words to say   And when He finally calls me home   I'll walk with you through those gates      So please remember me   Oh, I promise I'll see you up there   I hope you're listening from up above   This is my prayer      May the mountains rise to meet you   May the skies open wide   Know that in my heart, my friend   You will always be alive      May the angels fly to greet you   You can see it all from up there   I know you're listening from up above   'Cause this is and will always be my prayer   My prayer, my prayer
