I'll Pray- By John Carter

Do you remember the simple times
They didn't seem so simple then
I only dreamt of loving you
While you just dreamt of finding zen

But those times are gone now
I can't say that I miss them
I never thought that I'd feel
That same old way again

Now that you're back
There's no running away
Now that you're here
I'm gonna live for today
I'm not a praying man
But I'll pray on this day
More than anything else
I just pray that you'll stay

There was some catatonic haze
Flowing between our little ears
But we knew we had it right
We thought everything was clear

And there was no feeling in our teenage hearts
That couldn't be put into a mix tape
We thought true love meant other peoples' words
That didn't quite say what we meant to say

Now that you're back
There's no running away
Now that you're here
I'm gonna live for today
I'm not a praying man
But I'll pray on this day
More than anything else
I just pray that you'll stay

I still can't believe my foolish luck
That led me here with you
But I'll take it for what it is
A precious love
That was strong enough
To come true
