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 every day
I watch as you walk down this way
We pass on the stairs of 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
For 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
Yes 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
Yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Allelujah here I am
We'll cut the strings tonight
And we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
La-la-la-la-la-la
