Music video
The opening scene of the music video features the band members waiting at Shannon Airport, where Nicky Byrne informs the band members that the last flight out has just been cancelled. The band members become upset by the news and Bryan exclaims that he is going home. The others follow and the song begins. The first stanza takes place inside the airport and during the chorus, the scene shifts to Limerick (Catherine st) a town in Ireland.Harstonge house on Harstonge st (or Oznam house as its also known) can clearly be seen in the video as they walk down the street. After the end of the first chorus, the scene shifts to Colbert train station in Limerick. Then again during the second chorus, the scene changes to Lahinch Beach, Co. Clare and in Kilkee, (Co. Clare) During the final chorus, the band members sing atop the Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare. The song itself, combined with the video is portraying the band missing their native Ireland and, in particular, a love interest that was left behind.

Lyric
An empty street, and empty house A hole inside my heart I'm all alone the rooms are getting smaller I wonder how, I wonder why I wonder where they are The days we had, the songs we sang together
And oh my love I'm holding on forever Reaching for a love that seems so far
Chorus : So I say a little prayer And hope my dreams will take me there Where the skies are blue To see you once again my love Over seas from coast to coast To find the place I love the most Where the fields are green To see you once again
My love
I try to read, I go to work I'm laughing with my friends But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking oh no I wonder how, I wonder why I wonder were they are The days we had, the songs we sang together
And oh my love I'm holding on forever Reaching for a love that seems so far (Chorus )
To hold you in my arms To promise you my love To tell you from the heart what I'm thinking of
I'm reaching for a love that seems so far (Chorus )
My Love
I say a little prayer Dreams will take me there Where the skies are blue to see you once again Over seas from coast to coast To find the place I love the most Where the fields are green to see you once again
My love
