Prayin’ for Daylight Lyrics

[Bridge]
Hoping that I didn't wait too long (I didn't wait too long)
That this is just the dark before the dawn


[Verse 3]
Deep in my heart, I know that you love me as much as I love you
(You know I love you, girl)
And that you must be lyin' somewhere, looking up to heaven too


[Chorus]
Prayin' for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong
Baby, come back to me, I swear I'll make it right
Don't make me spend another lonely night
(Make me spend another lonely night)
Prayin' for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong
Baby, come back to me, I swear I'll make it right
Don't make me spend another lonely night
(Don't make me spend another lonely night)
Prayin' for daylight (Prayin' for daylight)
Prayin' for daylight

[Outro]
I don't wanna spend another lonely night
I don't wanna spend another lonely night (Prayin' for daylight)
Prayin' for daylight
I don't wanna spend another lonely night
Ooh
Prayin' for daylight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This is the lead-off single to their album Rascal Flatts. It tells the story of a break-up, and the subsequent loss of sleep that often follows. It was written by Steve Bogard and Rick Giles, and peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks.

Band member Jay DeMarcus said about the track:

That was the first tune we ever cut as a group, and the first song that Lyric Street ever heard us do. It was very, very instrumental in getting our deal. I think if somebody said tell us what you’re all about, we could play that song and they’d get a pretty good picture of what we can do.
