I say a prayer for you

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
I say a little (prayer for you)
And while combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
I say a little (prayer for you)

Forever, forever, you’ll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, (we’re again) that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear (dear)
I say a little (prayer for you)
At work I just take me some time
And all through my coffee break-time (break time)
I say a little (prayer for you)
Ohh, Yes, I am

Forever, forever, you’ll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, (we’re again) that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

Forever, forever, you’ll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, (we’re again) that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

My darling believe me, (believe me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too
I’m in love with you (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe (answer my prayer)
Say you love me too (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe (answer my prayer)
Ohhhhhoh…

Forever, forever, you’ll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, forever,(we’re again) that’s how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

My darling believe me, (believe me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please baby love me too
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer my prayer)
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer it right now babe (answer my prayer)
Say you love me too (answer my prayer)
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
