      A Prayer

      I'm always with you when you're gone
      And you're still here when I'm alone
      We have developed a strong bond
      What I have hoped for all along
      
       
      
      
      
      
      I am your friend and you are mine
      And I thank God we have this time
      I care more for you every day
      These feelings just won't go away
      
       
      
      
      
      
      And I don't want them to, of course
      I'm drawn to you with such strong force
      And you are drawn to me, I think
      I think we're standing on the brink
      
       
      
      
      
      
      Of the strongest love that I will know
      We're very wise to take it slow
      To get to know each other well
      To bring us both out of our shell
      
       
      
      
      
      
      There is no turning back for me
      You are all that I can see
      I want to build a life with you
      I'm praying that's what you want too
