My Prayer
"My Prayer" was a 1950s Human love song performed by The Platters.
This song was played on the radio of the '57 Chevy The Doctor and Danara Pel were parking in on Mars in 2372. The holodeck program was created by Tom Paris and Kes for The Doctor to be alone together in a place Paris considered romantic. (VOY: "Lifesigns")
Lyrics
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

As of July 2025, the Paramount+ With Showtime release similarly retains the audio of "I Only Have Eyes for You," but uses subtitles of "My Prayer".
