Lyrics
Hoping and Praying
Words and Music By Dan Edwards ©2009
Hoping and praying that all the things I'm saying one day will come true
Hoping and praying that one day I will wake up and be next to you.
Then we will...
Walk in the sunshine.
Or hand in hand in the rain.
Just hang our sheets on the clothesline of our house at the end of the lane.
Living but lying, all the while I'm trying to get back to you.
Never forgetting, I'll never stop regretting what I did to you.
Oh please forgive me, I can't go on living without you.
I need to...
Walk in the sunshine.
Or hand in hand in the rain.
Just hang our sheets on the clothesline of our house at the end of the lane.
I made a decision that went against the vision that I had for life.
Now I'm lost, and I'm counting the cost of loosing you as my wife.
Finally I see, that you and me were meant to be.
We were meant to...
Walk in the sunshine.
Or hand in hand in the rain.
Just hang our sheets on the clothesline of our house at the end of the lane.
Hoping and praying that one day I will wake up and be next to you.
