In the history of a life takes a heart, 
When the power of love comes together, 
There ain't nothing can tear us apart. 
And the touch of your hand I can feel 
That what we got is stronger than steel. 
That's when you hear

My lover's prayer. 
It's my own silent message to you. 
Takes me there, my lover's prayer, 
And my soul is divided in two. 
  
With my love on the line 
I send it all over the world, 
Out on the air. 
'Cause I can't let go 
And my heart has a mind of its own. 
It's my lover's prayer. 
  
It's the mystery of a place blessed by us, 
And the moment of truth is forever, 
In the face of incredible odds. 
And the look in your eyes tells me why. 
Let our words burn a sign in the sky. 
  
My lover's prayer. 
It's as easy as talking to you. 
All my life, having you there. 
In my own private vision come true. 
  
It's heaven on Earth. 
You're the fire and all that I'm worth. 
And I can be strong. 
You hold the key. 
Don't say it's over (don't say it's over). 
Don't say it's over for me (don't say it's over). 
  
My lover's prayer (my lover's prayer). 
It's as easy as talking to you (it's easy, it's easy). 
All my life, having you there. 
In my own private vision come true. 
  
In my search for your love 
I send it all over the world. 
It's all I can bear. 
And the nights get long 
But my heart holds on. 
It's no empty words. 
  
My lover's prayer (my lover's prayer). 
It's my own silent message to you (message to you, message to). 
Takes me there, my lover's prayer (oh). 
And my soul is divided in two. 
'Cause I can't (can't) let go (oh can't). 
And my heart has a mind of its own. 
It's my lover's prayer.

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
