Dedicated to the One I Love
A Love's Prayer in the Darkest Hour
Lyrics
While I'm far away from you my baby
Expressing separation from the loved one
I know it's hard for you my baby
Acknowledging the difficulty for the loved one in the absence
Because it's hard for me my baby
Sharing the mutual struggle of being apart
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Highlighting the challenging times before a positive change
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Requesting a prayer before bedtime for the speaker
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Reiterating the plea for a prayer from the loved one
And tell all the stars above
Suggesting a connection with celestial elements
This is dedicated to the one I love
Declaring the dedication of the song to the loved one
(Love can never be exactly like we want it to be)
Reflecting on the inevitability of love's imperfections
I could be satisfied knowing you love me
Expressing contentment in the assurance of being loved
(And there's one thing I want you to do)
Requesting a specific action from the loved one
(Especially for me)
Emphasizing the personal nature of the request
And it's something that everybody needs
Stating the universal importance of the requested action
While I'm far away from you my baby
Repeating the sentiment of separation and difficulty
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Reiterating the plea for a nightly prayer during absence
Because it's hard for me my baby
Affirming the shared hardship in being apart
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Recalling the challenging moments before positive change
If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Repeating the importance of a specific action for the speaker
Then it's something that everybody needs
Reiterating the universal significance of the requested action
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Asking for a bedtime prayer for the speaker's well-being
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Emphasizing the continued need for the loved one's prayer
And tell all the stars above
Linking the act of prayer to celestial entities
This is dedicated to the one I love
Reaffirming the dedication of the song to the loved one
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
Repeating the dedication for emphasis
This is dedicated to the one I love
Restating the dedication to the one the speaker loves
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
Repeating the dedication as a powerful affirmation
This is dedicated
Underlining the commitment with the word "dedicated"
This is dedicated
Finalizing the dedication with emphasis
