First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes   She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply   She was a stranger I had known for years   She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears      The two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer         Time it slowly drips into the past, into the past   And finds a home where all echoes rest, where echoes rest       She softly kissed my mind, my mind,    and whispered what will we do with time, do   with time      The two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer      Am I the man I choose to be, choose to be,   Or just the man I used to be, used to be   Am I the man I want to be, I want to be   this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me      The two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer   Together like the two hands of a prayer
