Riding on in, on my prayer

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Gentle as the wind
I found riding on in, on my prayer
Will you be there?
I love you, do you love me?

All I know is love is you
I care so much,
do you care for me?
When you see me here?
I need you, do you need me?

I ask you please do love yourself
Cos everyone is light
And you are light
I want the best, for you
cos you are true
I love you, do you love me?

    Romantic. And I'm hopeful you'll get an answer soon. I like the structure that you used for this one as well.
