  			Am                      Dm E                            Dm Am 
When the twilight is gone  and no songbirds are singing 
Am                      Dm E                        Dm Am 
When the twilight is gone   you come into my heart 
    C          G              Em           A 
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray  
 
A                           Cdim  (xx3434) 
My prayer is to linger with you 
                  Dm                      A    E 
At the end of the day in a dream that?s divine 
                          Cdim 
My prayer is a rapture in blue 
                    Dm  E                      A   Dm  A  A7 
With the world far away and your lips close to mine 
 
  Dm                          Am  
Tonight while our hearts are aglow 
   Gdim                                   E 
Oh tell me the words that I?m longing to know 
 
My prayer and the answer you give 
                      Dm                     A    C#m 
May they still be the same for as long as we live 
                      D   C#m   (n.c.)        Dm   A   
That you?ll always be there at the end of my prayer
