As I Pray for You in Westminster Abbey
Lighting a candle I picture your face,
As I pray for you in Westminster Abbey,
Alone with the hallowed dead of this place,
Lighting a candle I picture your face.
Days without you, days held by grace,
In the hopeless weight of memory,
Lighting a candle I picture your face,
As I pray for you in Westminster Abbey
