Lovely Lady dressed in blue---

Teach me how to pray!

God was just your little boy,

Teach me what to say!

Did you lift Him up, sometimes,

Gently on your knee?

Did you sing to Him the way

Mother does to me?

Did you hold His Hand at night?

Did you ever try

Telling stories of the world?

O! And did He cry?

Do you think He really cares

If I tell Him things---

Little things that happen?  And

Do the angels wings

Make a noise? And can He hear

Me is I speak low?

Does He understand me now?

Tell me---for you know.

Lovely Lady dressed in blue---

Teach me how to pray!

God was just your little boy,

And you know the way.
