[Verse 1]
Since you've been away, all I do is pray
It's only lonely nights that I've spent
There seem to be no happy day
Since you've been away, girl, my mind has gone astray
And all I do is pray that you will come my way
Sometimes I sit and concentrate if you are going to stay
In the hope that you would return
And make my life more gay
But since the other day that you've been away
All I do is pray that you will come my way

[Bridge]
Oh yeah yeah-eh, alright
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Since you've been away, all I do is pray
It's only lonely nights that I've spent
There seem to be no happy day
Since the other day that you've been away
All I do is pray that you will come my way
Since you've been away, girl, all I do is pray
It's only lonely nights that I've spent
There seem to be no day
Since the other day that you've been away
My mind has gone astray, oh-oh-oh yeah
Since you've been away, all I do is pray
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Every night and day, oh yeah, oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
