Lover’s Prayer Lyrics by Van Morrison

The Philosopher’s Stone

1998

[Chorus]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight

[Verse 1]
Don't want no jive artists calling me on the telephone
Don't wanna watch Carson show all alone
I just wanna lay back, take my rest
While love's head resting on my chest

[Chorus]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight

[Verse 2]
And I don't want my best friends even coming round
'Cause if they do I might put 'em down
Carson's over and the light's way down low
And all I got, I got a heart full of soul

[Chorus]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight

[Bridge]
And it's a lover's prayer, oh yes it is
Takes a little time, takes a little care
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
And when it gets way on in the midnight hour
I just wanna play my guitar
I just wanna see you smile, touch your face
Be with you in my own place

[Chorus]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight

[Outro]
Just wanna be with my love tonight
Just wanna be with my love tonight
