She sits at the table of a sidewalk café, 
Dreaming of the South of France. 
I’m an espresso, she’s a latté, 
I know all the steps to her dance. 
So I… Say a prayer…

Her face in the window is like a dream to me. 
We walk in hand, store to store. 
She says, “who is that woman looking back at me? 
I don’t know her anymore.” 
So I… Say a prayer… Say a prayer…

Life is a game that none of us wins. 
The only way out is deeper within. 
She’ll find the answer in there 
That can take her anywhere 
If I… Say a prayer… Say a prayer.

He lives out a secret in a bottle of pills
There’s a hole in his heart and his soul.
He trades in his Chevy for a new Coupe de Ville,
Still all he ends up here is old.
So I… Say a prayer… Say a prayer.

Life is a game that none of us wins.
The only way out is deeper within.
He’ll find the answer in there
That can take him anywhere
If I… Say a prayer…Say a prayer.

Now the kids are all grown, I guess everything ends.
My hair is turning thin and gray.
You said it’s never too late to start over again,
And it’s only by Your grace
That I say a prayer… Say a prayer…

Life is a game that none of us wins.
The only way out is deeper within.
I’ll find the answer in there
That can take me anywhere
If you…  Say a prayer… Say a prayer… Say a prayer.
