Baby's Prayer Will Soon Be Answered 1918

Baby's been so lonesome
since daddy went away,
but baby knew her prayers
would bring him back some day;
and when the sun is sinking
in the West she goes to bed,
two tiny hands are folded
and a baby's pray'r is said:

Baby's prayer will soon be answered
baby's little heart will soon be gay,
For her daddy's coming home
from far across the foam,
This Angel waits and prays for him each day,
Just like a rose this baby knows
the sunshine is bound to come
and drive the clouds away;
Now she's smiling thru' her tears,
when her mother hears
that baby's daddy's coming home to stay.

Baby's prayer will soon be answered
baby's little heart will soon be gay,
For her daddy's coming home
from far across the foam,
This Angel waits and prays for him each day,
Just like a rose this baby knows
the sunshine is bound to come
and drive the clouds away;
Now she's smiling thru' her tears,
when her mother hears
that baby's daddy's coming home to stay.

Now the war is over,
and baby's heart is glad,
but baby says her prayers
for some other kiddies dad;
for ev'ry hero brave
who gave his life for victory,
this baby kneels and says a prayer
each night for you and me:

Baby's prayer will soon be answered
baby's little heart will soon be gay,
For her daddy's coming home
from far across the foam,
This Angel waits and prays for him each day,
Just like a rose this baby knows
the sunshine is bound to come
and drive the clouds away;
Now she's smiling thru' her tears,
when her mother hears
that baby's daddy's coming home to stay.

Baby's prayer will soon be answered
baby's little heart will soon be gay,
For her daddy's coming home
from far across the foam,
This Angel waits and prays for him each day,
Just like a rose this baby knows
the sunshine is bound to come
and drive the clouds away;
Now she's smiling thru' her tears,
when her mother hears
that baby's daddy's coming home to stay.
