They were supposed to be having such a good time
the flowers were there
but the guests had not yet arrived

But they prayed for you anyway
and they tried not to use his name in vain

My eyes going bad
I had to smile to see you cry
The bottom dropped out somewhere along the way

But I won't drag your name around
When there's no one left to turn me down


Expecting the worst was the best that they could do
Oh, just by a chance
Would you ever make it alone


But they prayed for you anyway
yes, they prayed for you anyway
But they prayed for you anyway
yes, they prayed for you anyway
And they tried not to use his name in vain


They were supposed to be having such a good time
