Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight

I’ve heard the prayers of mothers
Some of them old and gray
I’ve heard the prayers of others
For those who went away
Oft times a prayer will teach one
The meaning of goodbye
I’ve felt the pain of each one
But this one made me cry
(Pre-Chorus)
Just a baby’s prayer at twilight
When lights are low
Her baby’s years, are filled with tears
There’s mother there at twilight
Who’s proud to know
Her precious little tot
Is Dad’s forget-me-not
After saying «Goodnight, Mama»
She climbs upstairs
Quite unaware
And says her prayer
«Oh, kindly tell my daddy that he must take care»
That’s a baby’s prayer at twilight
For her daddy, over there
(Instrumental)
«Oh, kindly tell my daddy that he must take care»
That’s a baby’s prayer at twilight
For her daddy, over there
