Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton - Prayer lyrics

No, stay ... I don't care what you've said or done. Don't go away, not now when life has just begun. Come back and be the woman who I knew. Help me to believe in you! What on earth am I to do? She's gone, this vision who was not quite real. I must move on, despite the pain. The pain will heal. Oh, Lord! How could you let me love like this? No one dies upon a kiss, and only fools believe in bliss. And yes! God knows, I am a fool, A man deluded by his wife, a figure ripe for ridicule, who's lived a vain and useless life. So be it then! I'll play that game! I do not give a tinker's dam! I'll be a fool - it's all the same. It truly doesn't matter what I am! God, no! I'm broken, but I'm still alive! And slowly I will feel my soul revive. With time I'll find a way to right this wrong, if it takes my whole life long. Lord, I'll fight my battles all alone, but make me strong!
