Lyrics:

I heard a poor girl praying (he heard her praying)
I heard a poor saying (he heard her saying)
'Please forgive me
For having hurt him so'

She'd prayed that love would restore them (she prayed, ah)
To what they had been before they drifted apart (before they drifted apart, ah)
I saw the tears (he saw the tears)
Running down her face (poor little girl)
As she said (poor little girl)
Her lonely prayer (poor little girl, poor little girl)
I saw the pain (he saw the pain)
Deep within her eyes
When she turned (she turned)
And saw me standing there (ah)

I heard a poor girl praying (he heard her praying)
I heard a poor saying (he heard her saying)
'If he leaves me
I don't know what'll I'll do'

And then I knelt down (he knelt beside her) beside her
And I knew (he knew he loved her) I still loved her
And that I (he could never) could never let her go (never let her go, never let her go)
Poor little girl (never let her go)
