Prayed Harder Lyrics by Ashley Anne

­dear dolly

2023

[Verse 1]
A man handed me a smile and a bulletin
Held my dress, sliding into that old oak pew
Said, "Excuse me there, Mrs. Sullivan
Is that seat already taken next to you?"
I look back as that back door closed

[Verse 2]
Y'all walked in and sat right there in front of me
Holding hands and singing along to "It Is Well with My Soul"
Trying like hell to hide my anxiety
'Cause for the roof that you are under, y'all are a little too close
How she got him, God only knows

[Chorus]
I always thought it was the good Lord's plan
You and me would be more than just friends
I know your heart like the back of both my trembling hands
Hеr and me got this same red carpеt 'neath our feet
But she must have been praying a little bit harder than me

[Verse 2]
Preacher man prayed his final prayer
You and her slipped out down that mile-long aisle
I watched through the stained glass by the stairs
As you helped her up in that truck that I've been in a million times
He's in love, I'm in denial

[Chorus]
I always thought it was the good Lord's plan
You and me would be more than just friends
I know your heart like the back of both my trembling hands
Her and me got this same red carpet 'neath our feet
But she must have been praying a little bit harder than me

[Bridge]
How tight did she fold her hands?
How long did she bow her head?
It'll take that times ten
To get on over him

[Chorus]
I always thought it was the good Lord's plan
You and me would be more than just friends
I know your heart like the back of both my trembling hands
Her and me got this same red carpet 'neath our feet
But she must have been praying a little bit harder than me
