The Platters My Prayer Letras:
When the twilight is gone,
(Ah, ah.)
And no songbirds are singing.
(Ah.)
When the twilight is gone,
(Ah, ah.)
You come into my heart,
(Ah)
And here in my heart you will stay,
While I pray.

My prayer is to linger with you,
At the end of the day,
In a dream that's divine.
My prayer is a rapture in blue,
With the world far away,
And your lips close to mine.

Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words,
That I'm longing to know.

My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same,
For as long as we live.
That you'll always be there,
At the end of my prayer.

[3] The act went through many personnel changes, with the most successful
incarnation was: lead tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch (not to be confused
with the American film director of the same name), Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and
Zola Taylor. By the end of the '60s, the group had disbanded with various
members starting up their own version of the Platters. This bit of
franchising now extends into the present day, with an estimated 125
sanctioned versions of "The Original Platters" out on the oldies show
circuit. Despite the confusion, The Platters continued to record with the
following lineup: lead vocalist Sonny Turner, Nate Nelson (former lead voice
of The Flamingos), David Lynch, Herb Reed and Sandra Dawn.]

[4] The Platters started out merely aping the R&B style of the day. Their
fortunes were changed due to Buck Ram who was their mentor, manager,
producer, songwriter, and vocal coach. Ram took what many would say were a
run-of-the-mill R&B doo wop vocal group and turned them into stars and one
of the most enduring and lucrative groups of all time.]
