There's a man waving his hat At a starting aero-plane On a faded photograph from long ago And I wondered who he was Who was on the plane Where the flight was going to And I felt kind of homesick Although you were with me Save a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back again? Save a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back, come back again? ♪ When the circle is fulfilled When the planes are coming back And I'll be there to welcome you home And it will be my turn And nothing shall be left But memories and faded photographs You see, I'm on my way Some have to go, some have to stay Save a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back again Save a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back, come back again When will I ever cope with love? When will I ever learn? And I feel I have to go To where I do not know, to where I do not know Save a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back again Save a prayer, a prayer for me When will I ever come back, come back When will I ever come back, come back again
