At Night I Pray

VERSE

The moonlight spills soft on the floor by our bed,

Where memories linger; her laughter still treads

Each night I kneel silent, my heart’s torn apart,

Pleading for grace to ease this ache in my heart

CHORUS

When the stars light the sky, and the world’s out of sight

I pray in the quiet for my wife in the night

Though she’s gone from my arms; in my heart she still stays

I beg God to send her back home, through my prayers

VERSE

Her voice in the kitchen, her touch on my hand

The warmth of her smile; like waves on the sand

I see her in dreams, so vivid, so near

I feel her sweet spirit, still, here in the room

A whisper of warmth in the soft evening gloom,

Her presence surrounds me, so gentle, so near,

But fades at dawn, leaving only my tears

Only to wake to the silence, and she’s not here

CHORUS

When the stars light the sky, and the world’s out of sight

I pray in the quiet for my wife in the night

Though she’s gone from my arms; in my heart she still stays

I beg God to send her back home, through my prayers

BRIDGE

If heaven could spare her for one moment more,

I’d hold her so tightly, like never before

I’d whisper, “I love you,” ‘til dawn breaks the skies,

And cherish the light in her beautiful eyes

CHORUS

When the stars light the sky, and the world’s out of sight

I pray in the quiet for my wife in the night

Though she’s gone from my arms; in my heart she still stays

I beg God to send her back home, through my prayers

OUTRO

‘til my days fade to dusk, and my prayers find their end

I’ll carry her love, my forever best friend

In the quiet of night, with the stars shining bright.

I’ll pray for my wife, till we're joined in the light.
