Each Night I Pray
Each night I pray
For the Lord to bless you
For the Lord to keep you
To care and protect you
I am away
But in your heart I stay
Until I can return
Each night I pray
I love you dearest
I miss you so
The days are lonely
The nights are cold
I read your letters
And circle every heart
I count the moments
We are apart
Each night I pray
For the Lord to bless you
For the Lord to keep you
To care and protect you
I am away
But in your heart I stay
Until I return
Each night I pray
I can't wait to hold you
To embrace and kiss you
Just to be near you
To see your face
Not an image on a phone
To be loved back home
Each night I pray
For the Lord to bless you
For the Lord to keep you
To care and protect you
In my heart you stay
Each night I pray
