In the afternoon 'neath
the summer sun
We'd lie by the lake
till the evening comes
I run my fingers through
your sun-streaked hair
Baby, that's the power
of prayer
Summer nights, summer's
in the air
I stack the tables with
the chairs
It's closing time, then
you're standing there
Baby, that's the power
of prayer
It's a fixed game
without any rules, an
empty table on a ship of
fools
I'm holding hearts, I'll
play the pair
Darling, it's just the
power of prayer
It's a fixed game
without any rules, an
empty table on a ship of
fools
I'm holding hearts, I'll
play the pair
I'm goin' all in 'cause
I don't care
They say that love, love
comes and goes
But darling, what, what
do they know?
I'm reaching for Heaven,
we'll make it there
Darling, it's just the
power of prayer
Baby, it's just the
power of prayer
Darling, it's just the
power of prayer
Last call, the bouncer
shuts the door
"This Magic Moment"
drifts across the floor
As Ben E. King's voice
fills the air, baby,
that's the power of
prayer
