Story Behind The Song
My wife and I had just had a fight. I went for a walk to get some distance. Suddenly, a phrase stuck in my hear; "Everynight I pray, pray, pray that your love won't go away". I went home, we made up and I wrote the lyrics and the music down.

Lyrics
Every night I pray, pray, pray
That your love won?t go away
Every night I pray, pray, pray
That you?re always here to stay
Holding on to love is like clinging onto sand
If you try to squeeze it it just slips from your hand
But loosen up your fingers and open up your heart
Muscles only good for making things fall apart
Every night I pray, pray, pray
That your love won?t go away
Every night I pray, pray, pray
That you?re always here to stay
I dream of forever together with you
And sometimes I hate you for making me blue
My love is a feeling that I know will last
No one can stop it; it?s going way too fast
Every night I pray, pray, pray
That your love won?t go away
Every night I pray, pray, pray
That you?re always here to stay
Every night I pray, pray, pray
