Hey Lord, take a look all around tonight
And find where my baby's gonna be.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
And things are gonna be alright with me.
And find where my baby's gonna be.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
And things are gonna be alright with me.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that all her dreams are sweet.
Said now, would ya guide her along the roads
And make them softer for her feet.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
Until she's home and here with me.
Hey, Lord would ya look out for her tonight
If she is sleepin' under the sky.
Said now, make sure the ground she's sleepin' on
Is always warm and dry.
Mmm, don't you give her too much rain,
Try to keep her away from pain
Because my baby hates to cry.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause it gets rough along the way.
Said now if this song seems strange it's just because
I don't know how to pray.
Mmm, won't you give her peace of mind,
And if you ever find the time
Won't ya tell her I miss her every day.
Hey Lord, take a look all around tonight

Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
Until she's home and here with me.
With me.
And make sure that all her dreams are sweet.
Said now, would ya guide her along the roads
And make them softer for her feet.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
Until she's home and here with me.

With me.
