Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight - Henry Burr/The Peerless Quartet[00:00:00]
I've heard the prayers of mothers[00:00:16]
Some of them old and gray[00:00:21]
I've heard the prayers of others[00:00:26]
For those who went away[00:00:30]
Of times a prayer will teach one[00:00:35]
The meaning of goodbye[00:00:40]
I felt the pain of each one[00:00:45]
But this one made me cry[00:00:51]
Just a baby's prayer at twilight[00:00:56]
When lights are low[00:01:02]
Poor baby's years[00:01:07]
Are filled with tears[00:01:12]
There's a mother there at twilight[00:01:17]
Who's proud to know[00:01:23]
Her precious little tot[00:01:28]
Is Dad's forget-me-not[00:01:32]
After saying Goodnight Mama[00:01:37]
She climbs up stairs[00:01:44]
Quite unawares[00:01:49]
And says her prayers[00:01:54]
Oh kindly tell my daddy[00:01:59]
That he must take care[00:02:03]
That's a baby's prayer at twilight[00:02:08]
For her daddy over there[00:02:15]
Oh kindly tell my daddy[00:02:44]
That he must take care[00:02:48]
That's a baby's prayer at twilight[00:02:53]
For her daddy over there[00:03:00]
