Dreamy 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 night, 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 Darlin', 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 darlin' what, what do they know? I'm reachin' for heaven We'll make it there Darlin', it's just the power of prayer Baby, it's just the power of prayer Darlin', 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
