TONIGHT I KNELT AND SAID A PRAYER

               Tonight I knelt and said a prayer
               To God way up above.
               I asked of him to send to you
               The warmth of my hearts love.

               I asked of him to hold you close
               And whisper in your ear
               The knowledge of my love for you
               And let you know my thoughts are near

               I asked of him to send to you
               The comfort of my embrace
               I asked of him to remove from you
               Nightmares every trace.

               I asked of him to lay his hand
               Upon your cheek tonight
               I asked of Him to stay with you
               Til the dawning of first mornings light

               I asked if he would send my love
               To guard you through the day
               Your love to her, I do send
               I thought I heard him say.
