There's a man waving his head at a starting aeroplane On a faded photograph from long ago And I wondered who he was, who was on the plane And where the flight was going to And I felt kind of homesick Although you were with me Say a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back again Say a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back, come back again When the circle is fulfilled When the planes are coming back Then I'll be there to welcome you home And it will be my turn And nothing shall be left But memories and faded photographs You see I'm on my way Some have to go, some have to stay Say a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back again Say a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back, come back again When will I ever cope with love When will I ever learn And I feel I have to go To where I do not know, to where I do not know Say a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back again Say a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back, come back When will I ever come back, come back again When will I ever come back, come back again
