While I'm far away from you my baby 
I know it's hard for you my baby 
Because it's hard for me my baby 
And the darkest hour is just before dawn 
Each night before you go to bed my baby 
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby 
And tell all the stars above 
This is dedicated to the one I love 
Life can never be exactly like we want it to be 
I can be satisfied just knowing that you love me 
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me 
And it's something that everybody needs 
Each night before you go to bed my baby 
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby 
And tell all the stars above 
This is dedicated to the one I love 
This is dedicated to the one I love
