Lyrics
She sits at the table of a sidewalk café,
Dreaming of the South of France.
I’m an espresso, she’s a latté,
I know all the steps to her dance.
So I… Say a prayer…
Her face in the window is like a dream to me,
We walk in hand, store to store.
She says, “who is that woman looking back at me?
I don’t know her anymore.”
So I… Say a prayer… Say a prayer…
Life is a game that none of us win.
The only way out is deeper within.
She’ll find the answer in there
That can take her anywhere
If I… Say a prayer… Say a prayer.
He lives out a secret in a bottle of pills
There’s a hole in his heart and his soul.
He trades in his Chevy for a new Coupe de Ville,
Still all he ends up here is old.
So I… Say a prayer… Say a prayer…
Life is a game that none of us win.
The only way out is deeper within.
He’ll find the answer in there
That can take him anywhere
If I just… Say a prayer… Say a prayer… Say a prayer.
Now the kids have all grown, I guess everything ends.
My hair is turning thin and gray.
You said it’s never too late to start over again,
Lord, it’s only by Your grace
That I say a prayer… Say a prayer…
Life is a game that none of us win.
The only way out is deeper within.
I’ll find the answer in there
That can take me anywhere
If you just… Say a prayer… Say a prayer
It’s all you gotta do, say a prayer… Say a prayer for me….
