the lights on the westway go on
a million cars hurry home
an ice cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
winter won't be long
I see you every day
I watch as you walk down this way
we pass on the stairs of this council block
too shy to find words to say
but your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
let's cut the strings tonight
so meet me on the corner at eight
let's get out of this place
we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
and let the past fall away
for your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
let's cut the strings tonight
INSTRUMENTAL
yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
let's cut the strings tonight
yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
we'll cut the strings tonight
and we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
la-la-la-la-la-la
