Tonight I'll Say a Prayer - Eydie Gorme, Steve Lawrence

Tonight I’ll set the table,

I’ll take my chair.

I’ll act like nothing’s happened,

Though you’re not there.

I’ll smile when Johnny asks me,

Why you are so late?

I’ll tell him daddy’s busy,

But I’ll wonder and worry and wait.

Tonight I’ll write some letters,

They’re overdue.

I’ll look at television,

But I’ll see you.

I’ll think about this morning,

Of a silly, foolish fight,

The way you said,

I won’t be home tonight.

Tonight I’ll kiss your pillow,

When I’m in bed.

I’ll blame myself completely,

For what I said.

My eyes will fill with teardrops,

When I reach for you.

I’ll feel so lost and lonely,

'Cause I love you, I love you, I love you!

Tonight I’ll say a prayer for you,

Where ever you may be.

And hope that when I wake tomorrow,

You’ll be here with me.
