The Avett Brothers - Through My Prayers lyrics
[The Avett Brothers - Through My Prayers lyrics]
Hard to believe I won't see you again
We were just fighting when winter began
The coldness of our words
Competing with the wind from the north
Still they make me shiver
But in a very different way
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
I have some better words now
But, it's too late to say them to you
My dream of all dreams
And my hope of all hopes
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
How much I love you and how much I always did
And yes, I know you loved me
I could see it in your eyes
And it was in your struggle and
It was in your mind
And it was in the smile you gave
Me when I was a kid
Feels like no one understands
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Through my prayers
I only wanted to tell you I cared
Every night after and every day since
I found myself crying when the memory hit's
Sometimes it knocks me down
Sometimes I can just put it away
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
If you have love in your heart
Let it show while you can
Yes now I understand
But now my only chance to talk to you is
Through my prayers
I only wanted to tell you I cared
I only wanted to tell you I cared
We were just fighting when winter began
The coldness of our words
Competing with the wind from the north
Still they make me shiver
But in a very different way
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
I have some better words now
But, it's too late to say them to you
My dream of all dreams
And my hope of all hopes
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
How much I love you and how much I always did
And yes, I know you loved me
I could see it in your eyes
And it was in your struggle and
It was in your mind
And it was in the smile you gave
Me when I was a kid
Feels like no one understands
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Through my prayers
I only wanted to tell you I cared
Every night after and every day since
I found myself crying when the memory hit's
Sometimes it knocks me down
Sometimes I can just put it away
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
If you have love in your heart
Let it show while you can
Yes now I understand
But now my only chance to talk to you is
Through my prayers
I only wanted to tell you I cared
I only wanted to tell you I cared
