I Prayed to God
Last night I cried and prayed to God my soul to keep.
I cried … I wept myself to sleep.
I woke and prayed to God to make me see.
That someday somewhere somehow
I’ll find the same love that’s within me.
A love so deep so everlasting.
A love so true that it will set me free.
And I cried .. I wept myself to sleep.
I woke and prayed to God to take away the pain and sorrow.
To take away the longing the tears an memories with no tomorrow.
And I cried .. I wept myself to sleep.
Then God answered and I had to wake.
God answered and said my son ..
For love so strong so honest and so true.
You need to smile and let it be.
For love so deep so everlasting and so pure.
You need to smile and set it free.
That’s true love my son ..
Why can’t you see!
And then I saw
I saw that even though I pray ..
And even though I hope ..
And even though I love ..
That love and happiness is not always ours to keep.
I then accepted and I smiled
I smiled .. and wept myself to sleep.
