[Chorus]
A sinner's prayer is never answered
A sinner's dreams cannot come true
The one I love now loves another
So sad am I alone and blue

[Verse 1]
Upon my bosom lies your picture
With tear dimmed eyes I placed it there
Down on my knees I pray to heaven
But angels heed no sinner's prayer

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
A sinner's prayer is never answered
A sinner's hopes are all in vain
The one I love now loves another
I'll never see my love again

[Verse 2]
Dear Lord above please hear my pleading
Bow not my head in darkness fair
She's all I love she's all I'm needing
Oh won't you hear a sinner's prayer
