from your lips to god's ears

Hold my breath every time you're near
Say a little prayer
The words I wanna hear
Hang between us in the air

To everything there is a season
Our time will come
So my prayer goes up
Like a vapour to the sun

And if your mouth could say
The same words that I pray

From your lips to god's ears
From your lips to god's ears
From your lips to god's ears
From your lips to mine

Silence is the language
Of our unspoken desire
I want to speak to you in tongues
And sing to you like a choir

I see your face from across the room
And I know it's true
What you feel for me
Is what I feel for you

And if your voice could say
The same words that I pray

From your lips to god's ears
From your lips to god's ears
From your lips to god's ears
From your lips to mine

It won't be long
It won't be long now...
