My Prayer - Words & Music by Jimmy Kennedy, Georges Boulanger, 1939 Sung by the Platters in the '50's and many others

When the twilight is gone

and no songbirds are singing

When the twilight is gone

you come into my heart

And here in my heart you will stay

while I pray

My prayer

is to linger with you

At the end of the day

in a dream that's divine

My prayer

is a rapture in bloom

With the world far away

and your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer

and the answer you give

May they still be the same

for as long as we live

That you'll always be there

at the end of

my prayer
