Long ago, before the moon was young
And before the first love song had ever been sung
We both knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt
What lovin' somebody was really all about When the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really need my friend When the sun goes down in this sleepy little town
All the world keeps spinning and our planets turn around
All alone, lonely as the stars, well I just wanna be
Wanna be where you are When the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
Well I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really miss my friend When the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really need my friend When the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really miss my friend
