Bible and a Rosary
Hayley Atene Apr 17
I’ve been sittin’ by the window, waiting for the dawn
The silence in this room is loud, now that you’re gone
The candle flickers softly, but the light doesn’t feel the same
I keep holding onto hope, but it’s just a waiting game

I see your face in every prayer I whisper through the night
Got a Bible and a rosary, just tryin’ to make it right

Got a Bible and a rosary, and I wish that you were here with me
I talk to the heavens above, but it’s not the same as your touch
I’m lost in a memory, praying for you endlessly
Got a Bible and a rosary, God, I wish that you were here with me

I remember the way you smiled, like the sun after rain
Now the world feels so heavy, and I’m not escaping the pain
I keep asking the stars if they'll bring you back to me

But the answers fade like shadows, just out of reach to me


I hear your voice in every prayer, a whisper in the night

Got a Bible and a rosary, just trying to make it right


Got a Bible and a rosary, and I wish that you were here with me

I talk to the heavens above, but it’s not the same as your touch

I’m lost in this memory, praying for you endlessly

Got a Bible and a rosary, God, I wish that you were here with me

I know you’re somewhere watching over, in a place that’s full of light

But it don’t make it easier when I’m alone here tonight

So I’ll hold onto my faith, and I’ll keep you in my heart

Even if we’re worlds apart, we’ll never be too far


Got a Bible and a rosary, now I wish that you were here with me

I talk to the heavens above, but it’s not the same as your touch

I’m lost in this memory, praying for you endlessly

Got a Bible and a rosary, God, I wish that you were here with me
Nice little country song
