Brian McKnight - My PrayerLyrics

I have been so far away Counting the time until today So long I've waited for a chance When I could spend some time with you Just with you, yes You are growing so very fast And I know I'm always the very last, oh To help you with a problem To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down Fall down But when I'm gone I need you here to carry on My son I know you will be strong Like a burning flame You're my claim That's why you've got my name And just to show Come what may I love you so And there will come a day When all that's mine is yours To take good care of you and yours I swear I swear And this is my prayer Oh, yes When I look at you, so hard to believe You're the younger version of older me I swear I swear And this is my prayer Oh Lord, this is my prayer
