Introd.: Verse 
 
Cm                    F    Bb  G7        Dm7           Cm 
When the twilight is gone, and no songbirds are singing 
                      F   Bb   G7            Dm7     Cm 
When the twilight is gone, you come into my heart 
    Dm7          Fm           Fdim           G7/13  G7  C 
And here in my heart you will stay while I  pray 
Melody 
    C                        D7 
My prayer is to linger with you 
                  Fm7                    C        G 
At the end of the day in a dream that's divine 
    C                       D7 
My prayer is a rapture in bloom 
                   Fm    G                         C    Fm   C 
With the world far away,   and your lips close to mine 
Bridge 
    G#                         C 
Tonight while our hearts are aglow 
    C#7                                     G   Fdim       G 
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know 
(N.C.) C                        D7 
My   prayer and the answer you give  
                       Fm                    C 
May they still be the same for as long as we live 
                        F        G7 
That you'll always be there 
        F     G7  C     Fm   C Fm C 
At the end of my prayer
