Lovely lady, dressed in blue, 
Teach me how to pray 
Cause God was just your little boy, 
And you know the way 
Did you lift him up sometimes, 
Gently on your knee 
Did you tell him stories of the world, 
Like Mother did to me 
And when he fell, did you lift him up, 
And make everything alright 
And did you tell him his prayers at night 

I want to know my lovely lady, lovely lady, 
Dressed, dressed in blue 
Oh, God was just your little boy, 
Your little boy and you know the truth 
And did you whisper in his ear sweet lullabyes, 
I want to know, I want to know, 
I want to know, did he cry 

Lovely lady, dressed in blue, 
Oh won't you please teach me how to pray 
Cause God was just your little boy, and 
I want to know, I want to know, 
I want to know, so teach me how to pray 

Teach me how to pray

    I was born the same year Mr. Neville was--1941. I also learned this song when I was in grade school, maybe eight or nine years old. It puzzles me that it could have been written by someone approximately my age and in grade school. Unless he was a prodigy. Maybe?
