I Pray

Night after night, I sit and pray
That the day I fear would never come our way
I pray that you will never have to go away
One day the pain you're feeling it'll go away

Ma, I know that time goes by so fast
I wanna make our every moment last
Whatever it'll take, I'll take the chance
I'd give up everything to see you dance

Oh Lord I pray, give her all the strength she needs
Oh Lord I pray, that she won't lose her faith, no, not a minute
Lord I pray, that you will never ever take her from me
Not tomorrow, not today, forever she will stay

Oh-oh Lord, oh Lord, oh-oh lord

Day and day I know how bad it burns
If only I could take away the hurt
I just wanna thank you for being so tough
You're taking all the pain
I know you're doing it for us

Oh Lord I pray, give her all the strength she needs
Oh Lord I pray, that she won't lose her faith, no, not a minute
Lord I pray, that you will never ever take her from me
Not tomorrow, not today, forever she will stay

Whenever I go home
You try and put a smile on your face
To make everything seem okay
Whenever I turn around
I know deep inside you're suffering
All of our hearts are crying
Just hold on!
Please hold on for us!
I lay it all on you
I know she can make it through

Oh Lord I pray, give her all the strength she needs
Oh Lord I pray, that she won't lose her faith, no, not a minute
Lord I pray, that you will never ever take her from me
Not tomorrow, not today, forever she will stay

Oh Lord I pray, give her all the strength she needs
Oh Lord I pray, that she won't lose her faith, no, not a minute
Lord I pray, that you will never ever take her from me
Not tomorrow, not today, forever she will stay
