Everything is wonderful Being here is heavenly Every single day, she says Everything is free I used to be so careless As if I couldn't care less Did I have to make mistakes when I was Mary's prayer? Suddenly the heavens rolled Suddenly the rain came down Suddenly was washed away The Mary that I knew So when you find somebody who gives Think of me and celebrate I made such a big mistake when I was Mary's Prayer So if I say save me, save me Be the light in my eyes And if I say ten Hail Mary's Leave a light on in heaven for me Blessed is the one who shares The power and your beauty, Mary Blessed is the millionaire Who shares your wedding day So when you find somebody to give Think of me and celebrate I made such a big mistake when I was Mary's Prayer So if I say save me, save me Be the light in my eyes And if I say ten Hail Mary's Leave a light on in heaven Save me, save me Be the light in my eyes And if I say ten Hail Mary's Leave a light on in heaven for me If you want the fruit to fall You have to give the tree a shake But if you shake the tree too hard The bough is gonna break And if I can't reach the top of the tree Mary you can hold me up there What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer So if I say save me, save me Be the light in my eyes If I say ten Hail Mary's Leave a light on in heaven Save me, save me Be the light in my eyes If I say ten Hail Mary's Leave a light on in heaven Save me, save me Be the light in my eyes What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer What I wouldn't give to be when I was Mary's prayer What I wouldn't give to be (save me) when I was Mary's prayer
