Heavenly Father, oh, up above, Please protect the boy I love. No matter when or where he is bound, Keep him always safe and sound. Help him to know and help him to see, I love him as he loves me. And Lord above, help me to be The kind of girl he wants me to be. I once had a love that was young and gay, But now I'm blue since he's gone away. You picked him out from all the rest, And with your help he'll do his best. So take care of him, bring him home to me. Heavenly Father, I pray to Thee. Heavenly Father, oh, take care of him, Bring him home to me. Heavenly Father, I pray to Thee.
