Help her to see that I love her
And she loves me,
And then, Dear Lord, help me to be
The son that she would want of me.
Help me, please, to always do,
The things that prove me ever true.
Keep us now, Keep us forever,
Happy, loving and always together.
Grant me this, O Lord, and then,
I'll be contented forever, Amen."
