Kaylie - My Little Prayer
My little prayer I’m praying now is just to hold you,
Even though I don’t see how.
I’m saying now, not knowing how I never told you,
(Brief vocal interlude)
I really meant to say goodbye;
I never knew I’d be so, so far away.
I couldn’t wake you, but I should have waked you
All just to say, “My dearest Kaylie, goodbye.”
I should at least have laid a kiss
Upon your peaceful sleeping face.
Wish I could tell you how much I miss
Your charming grace.
And so I pray an angel now
Would place those kisses upon your sleeping brow.
He’ll fly above you, he’ll say, “I love you;”
He’ll say the pretty things I kneel to pray—
And hold you.
(Instrumental and vocal interlude)
My little prayer I’m praying now is just to hold you,
Even though I don’t see how.
I’m saying now, dear Kaylie, how I wish I’d told you.
[Written as lyrics to Diana Yukawa's "Little Prayer"]
