Name In Vain
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.
They were supposed to be having such a good time
The flowers were there but the guests had not yet arrived
But they prayed for you anyway
And they tried not to use his name in vain
Eyes going bad, I had to smile to see you cry
The bottom dropped out somewhere along the way
But I won't drag your name around
When there's no one left to turn me down
Expecting the worst was the best that they could do
Oh just by chance would you ever make it alone
But they prayed for you anyway
Yes they prayed for you anyway
But they prayed for you anyway
Yes they prayed for you anyway
And they tried not to use his name in vain
They were supposed to be having such a good time
