Long ago, before the moon was young
And before the first love song had ever been sung
We both knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt
What lovin' somebody was really all aboutWhen the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really need my friendWhen the sun goes down in this sleepy little town
All the world keeps spinning and our planets turn around
All alone, lonely as the stars, well I just wanna be
Wanna be where you areWhen the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
Well I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really miss my friendWhen the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really need my friendWhen the sun goes down, ooh and you're not around
I'm sailing on a prayer, don't you know?
I told everyone, ooh, I even told the rising sun
That I really miss my friend
