What's it like, now that you're safe at home?
Do you watch over us here below?
Lifted to the light
Wish we'd had more time
Gone away, but I still keep you close
So I'm on my knees tonight
'Cause you've just been on my mind
And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach through Heaven when I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
Bittersweet, beautiful mystery
To think of you, there in eternity
Free and so alive
By the Father's side
In paradise, saving a place for me
My love letters to the sky
I ask about you all the time
And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach through Heaven when I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
So I'm on my knees tonight
'Cause you've just been on my mind
When I say my prayers
And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach through Heaven when I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
(Yeah, you've just been on my mind)
When I say my prayers
(So I'm on my knees tonight)
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
