* 7-bar intro

* Verse 1 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).

* Chorus Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart and I will love you.
Forever and ever, we never will part.
Oh, how I love you.
Together, together, that's how it must be.
To live without you would only be heartbreak for me.

* Vers 2 I run for the bus, dear,
But while riding, I think of us, dear (us, dear).
I say a little (prayer for you).
At work I just take time,
And all through my coffee break time (break time),
I say a little (prayer for you).

* Repeat chorus twice

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, baby (answer my prayer).
Say you love me too (answer my prayer).
Answer my prayer, baby (answer my prayer).

* Repeat chorus

My darling, believe me (believe me),
For me there is no-one but you.
Please love me too.
This is my prayer (answer my prayer, baby).
Anser my prayer now, baby (answer my prayer, baby).
This is my prayer (answer my prayer, baby).
Answer it right now, baby (answer my prayer, baby).
Say you'll love me too (answer my prayer, baby).
This is my prayer, baby (answer my prayer, baby).

* Lead vocals: ad-lib to end
