Allelujah Lyrics

Eddi Reader Allelujah

The lights on the westway go on

A million cars hurry home

An ice-cream van shuts off its tinsel bells

Winter won't be long


I see you everyday

I watch you as you walk down this way

We pass on the stairs on this council block

Too shy to find words to say


But your smile is a prayer that prays for love

and your heart is a kite that longs to fly

Allelujah, here I am

Let's cut the strings tonight


So meet me on the corner at eight

Let's get out of this place

We'll kiss the first of a million kisses

and let the past fall away


'Cause your smile is a prayer...


For your smile is a prayer...

We'll kiss the first of a million kisses, ah
