My Prayer

<br>I have been so far away<br><br>Counting the time until today<br><br>So long Ive waited for a chance<br><br>When I could spend some time with you<br><br>Just with you<br><br><br><br>You are growing so very fast<br><br>And I know Im always the very last, oh<br><br>To help you with a problem<br><br>To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down<br><br>Fall down<br><br><br><br>But when Im gone<br><br>I need you here to carry on<br><br>My son I know you will be strong<br><br>Like a burning flame<br><br>Youre my claim<br><br>Thats why youve got my name<br><br>And just to show<br><br>Come what may I love you so<br><br>And there will come a day<br><br>When all thats mine is yours<br><br>To take good care of you and yours I swear<br><br>I swear<br><br>And this is my prayer<br><br><br><br>Oh, yes<br><br>When I look at you, so hard to believe<br><br>Youre the younger version of older me<br><br>I swear<br><br>I swear<br><br>And this is my prayer<br><br>Oh lord, this is my prayer
