Heavenly Father

Heavenly father, oh, up above
Please protect the boy I love
No matter when or where he's bound
Keep him always safe and sound

Help him to know and help him to see
That I love him as he loves me
Then dear Lord, help me to be
The kind of girl he wants me to be

I once had a heart that was young and gay
But now it's blue since he's 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

I once had a heart that was young and gay
But now it's blue since he's away

And with your help, he'll do his best

So take care of him, bring him home to me
