Every night I'm there, I'm always there, she knows I'm there, and heaven knows, I hope she goes I find it hard to realize that love was in her eyes, it's dying now, she knows I'm crying now, And every night I'm there, I break my heart to please Eloise, Eloise You know I'm on my knees, yeah, I said please You're all I want so hear my prayer, my prayer My Eloise is like the stars that please the night, the sun that makes the day, that lights the way And when my star goes by, I'll hold it in my hands and cry, her love is mine, my sun will shine Every night I'm there I break my heart to please Eloise, Eloise You're all I want, you gotta hear my prayer My Eloise, I'd love to please her, I'd love to care, but she's not there And when I find you, I'd be so kind, you'd want to stay, I know you'd stay And as the days grow old, the nights grow cold, I want to hold her near to me, I know she's dear to me And only time can tell and take away this lonely hell, I'm on my knees to Eloise And every night I'm there, I break my heart to please Eloise, Eloise You are my life so hear my prayer You are the price, I know you're there You're all I want so hear my prayer You're all I need and I'm not there, you know I'm not there
