They were supposed to be having such a good time
The flowers were there but the guests had not yet arrived
But they prayed for you anyway
And they tried not to use his name in vain

Eyes going bad, I had to smile to see you cry
The bottom dropped out somewhere along the way
But I won't drag your name around
When there's no one left to turn me down

Expecting the worst was the best that they could do
Oh just by chance would you ever make it alone
But they prayed for you anyway
Yes they prayed for you anyway
But they prayed for you anyway
Yes they prayed for you anyway
And they tried not to use his name in vain

They were supposed to be having such a good time
