God Watch Over You - Prefab Sprout

I’ve no time for religion

Maybe doubt’s a modern disease

Then I look at you and here’s what I do:

I wear holes in both my knees

I pray that God protects you

And if he is busy elsewhere

May his legions speed in your hour of need

And surround you till he’s there

I pray that God protects you

God watch over you

Every minute, every moment

God watch over you

Every minute, every moment

God Watch over you (and if you fall)

May he

Stretch out his arm and catch you

Keep you from harm or sweep you

Into his palm, but

God watch over you

God watch over you

I’ve told your guardian angel

Not to let you out of his sight

Or attempt to fly if he sees you cry

He’s to stand his ground and fight

I’ve warned your guardian angel

God watch over you

Every minute, every moment

God watch over you

Every minute, every moment

God watch over you (and if you fall)

May he

Stretch out his arm and catch you

Keep you from harm or sweep you

Into his palm, but

God watch over you

God watch over you

(and if you fall)

God watch over you

God watch over you

God watch over you
