verse 1
   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
   chorus
   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
   bridge 1
   (life can never be exactly like we want it to be)
   i could be satisfied knowing you love me
   (but there's one thing i want you to do especially for me)
   and it's something that everybody needs
   chorus 2
   each night before you go to bed 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
   instrumental break
   bridge 2
   if there's one thing i want you to do
   especially for me
   and it's something that everybody needs
   repeat chorus 1
   coda
   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)
