Lovely lady, dressed in blue, teach me how to pray

Cause god was just your little boy, and you know the way

Did you lift him up sometimes, gently on your knee

Did you tell him stories of the world, like mother did to me

And when he fell, did you lift him up, and make everything alright

And did you tell him his prayers at night



I wanna know my lovely lady, lovely lady, dressed, dressed in blue

Oh, god was just your little boy, your little boy and you know the truth

And did you whisper in his ear sweet lullabyes,

I wanna know, i wanna know, i wanna know, did he cry



Lovely lady, dressed in blue, oh won't you please teach me how to pray

Cause god was just your little boy, and

I wanna know, i wanna know, i wanna know, so teach me how to pray



Teach me how to pray
