Verse 1
(G major) Darling,
I don't know whether you can hear me or not
Because of this (C major) lump in my throat,
I can't talk very loud
But I've got to tell you 'bout our
little son's prayer (G major) tonight
If you could've heard it honey,
Verse 2
you'd have been so proud
(D major) I'd already left a note on the
table for mom and dad
As if they didn't know what was wrong
(G major) Now,
I asked them to take a care of him
Now, that you and I we're both
gone
(C major) After I finished the note, I

Verse 3
figured that he was asleep
So, I've slipped in to see him just once
(G major) more
But he was just startin' (D major) to pray
And his words froze (G major) me at the door (C major)
Verse 4
(G major) And he said, "Dear God,
it's late I hope I (D major) didn't get you up
(G major) But there's somethin' we gotta
(C major) talk about
You see God,
(D major) my mommy was buried today
And my daddy needs straighten out (G major)
Verse 5
Ever since mommy got sick, he's (D major)
been nervous
And hollered at me a lot
But that part I can't understand
'Cause (G major) even a little boy (D major) like me
knows (G major) that
Worry sometimes overload a man (C major)
Verse 6
But God, he loved (G major) mommy so (C major) much
And he used (G major) to tell her nothing
Would ever come between 'em
Now, I (D major) know that's
what's botherin' him
Verse 7
Now 'cause somethin' has (G major)
(C major) and I'm afraid
He's (D major) thinkin' about (G major) join
in' her somehow
God, I'm glad that
he loved mommy
I want him to be (C major) with her again
one of these days
(G major) But I want to
Verse 8
(C major) talk to him and tell him
That first he's (G major) got me to raise
Tell him, every now and then
Verse 9
A little boy needs a helping hand
(D major) And I guess, you probably still need
Your daddy even after
you're a full grown man
(G major) And God, if I'd lost him and
(D major) mommy both (G major)
It'd be more than I could stand (C major)
Verse 10
I (G major) know my grandma
and grandpa
(C major) Would take care of me
'Cause they both love me a whole (G major) lot
But God, they're older and (D major) they
don't always understand
The (G major) problems a little boy like
me has (C major) got (G major)
Well God, I won't (C major) bother anymore (G major) tonight
Verse 11
But tomorrow night,
I'll be sure and talk to you again
You take (C major) care of my daddy, now you hear thank you,
(G major) Amen
Verse 12
I've just stood (G major) there thinkin'
About his prayer and all that
he (D major) said in it
Finally I opened the door
and asked him
Verse 13
If I could talk to him for a minute
(G major) We sat down on the edge of his
bed
And both took (D major) turns laugh (G major) in' and cryin'
for a while
(C major) And he could tell it'd been a change
in me
Because for the first time in the long
time (G major) I saw him smile
(D major) So darling, you go on ahead
Verse 14
(G major)
but you walk (C major) slow
And someday when you'll (G major) turn around
(C major) I'll be there (G major)
But it'll be a while (D major)
'cause I'm gonna spend
The next few dozen years
(C major) Being an answer to our little boys (G major) prayer
