Allelujah

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

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

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

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

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

let’s cut the strings tonight

we’ll kiss the first of a million kisses

hallelujah
