Lovely lady, dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray
‘Cause God was just your little boy
And you know the way
Did you lift him up sometimes
Gently on your knee?
Did you tell him stories of the world
Like mother did to me?
And when he fell, did you lift him up
And make everything alright?
And did you tell him
His prayers at night?
I wanna know my lovely lady
Lovely lady, dressed, dressed in blue
Oh, God was just your little boy
Your little boy and you know the truth
And did you whisper
In his ear sweet lullabys?
Oh I, I wanna know, wanna know
I wanna know, did he cry?
Lovely lady, dressed in blue
Oh, won’t you please, teach me how to pray?
‘Cause God was just your little boy
And I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
So teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray
