Lyrics
Thank God for Sending You Back to Me Verse: All through the long hours fondly I treasured thoughts of a love so true, I prayed to Heav’n when shadows were falling, prayed night and day for you. Refrain: Thank God for sending you back to me, Back through the sunshine over a peaceful sea, Nights that were lonely no more shall be, My prayers are answered, I thank God for sending you back to me. Verse: No more to wake and find naught but sadness deep in a lonely heart, Your love and mine will last through the ages, never again to part. Refrain
