Lyrics
Say a prayer for me tonight
I’ll need every prayer that you can spare to get me by
Say a prayer and while you’re praying keep on saying
“She’s much too young to die”
“On to your Waterloo” whispers my heart
Pray I’ll be Wellington, not Bonaparte
Oh, say a prayer for me this evening
Bow your head and please stay on your knees tonight
