Lyrics: Dedicated To The One I Love
While I’m far away from you, my baby,
I know it’s hard for you, my baby,
Because it’s hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn –
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.
Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There’s one thing I want you to do especially for me –
And it’s something that everybody needs.
While I’m far away from you, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it’s hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.
If there’s one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it’s something that everybody needs…
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above –
This is dedicated to the one I love.
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated…
