the lights on the westway go on
 a million cars hurry home
 an ice cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
 winter won’t be long
 I see you every day
 I watch as you walk down this way
 we pass on the stairs of this council block
 too shy to find words to say
 for your smile is a prayer that prays for love
 and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
 hallelujah here I am
 let’s cut the strings tonight
 so meet me on the corner at eight
 let’s get out of this place
 we’ll kiss the first of a million kisses
 and let the past fall away
 yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
 and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
 hallelujah here I am
 let’s cut the strings tonight
 yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
 and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
 hallelujah here I am
 let’s cut the strings tonight
 yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
 and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
 hallelujah here I am
 let’s cut the strings tonight
 we’ll kiss the first of a million kisses
 hallelujah
