[chorus]
Just a baby's pray'r at twilight, when lights are low
Poor baby's years, are filled with tears
There's a mother there at twilight who's proud to know,
Her precious little tot,
Is dad's forget-me-not
After saying "good-night mommy," she climbs the stairs,
Quite unawares, then says her pray'rs;
"Oh! kindly tell my daddy that he must take care"
That's a baby's pray'r at twilight,
For her daddy, "over there."

[repeat chorus]
