Ora Lee You held my hand Taught me how to pray Loved with all you had Made my worries fade When I was little boy You wiped my tears away Sowed the seeds of joy And after many years You were still right there When as a grown man I felt I'd lost my way Ora Lee I wouldn't be the man I've come to be Without your love and prayers Taking me to church I learned humility As you fell asleep During liturgy You encouraged me To sing and to play My first recordings Were tapes just for you But what I loved most Was the time we shared Whether it was in a pew Or walks without a care At the end You held my hand And you prayed with me But couldn't stop my tears Ora Lee I still miss your love Sometimes I need you now Like when I was young So I just sit and pray That you can hear my song As I sing my love for Ora Lee
