Lyrics
The Prayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The little boy he crawls to his knees
Crosses his hands so that god can see
Hush - quiet - what?
The little boy who says his prayers
Good god don't go away from mommy
She undresses me and bathes and stays with me
Then she dresses me in warm nightgown
God bless daddy 'cause i forgot
When i think of what happened today
A little song comes to mind
I must not stop saying my prayer
Forgive me god, i ask you kindly
My nightgown has a hood
Inside the hood i hide my head
It covers my eyes and my forehead aswell
Nobody knows that i am there
Thank you god for a good day
Did i forget something, what was it?
I prayed for daddy and thought of you
Yes now i remember - god bless me
The little boy sleeps well now
The day is over, the night has come
Hush - quiet - what?
The little boy who said his prayers
