[Verse 1]
               
     The moment I wake up,
                
Before I put on my make-up, (Make-up!)
                                     
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]
                                 
For - ever and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
             
And I will love you,
                             
For - ever and ever, we never will part,
               
Oh, how I'll love you,
                                       
To - gether, to - gether, that's how it must be,
                
To live with - out you...
                               
...Would only be heart-break for me!
               
    Humm------, humm-------!

[Verse 2]
                
     I run for the bus, dear,
                           
Well, while riding I think of us, dear, (Us, dear!)
                                      
I say a little... (...prayer for you!)
                     
     And at work I just take time,
                       
And all through my coffee break-time, (Break-time!)
                                    
I say a little... (...prayer for you!)

[Chorus]
                                 
For - ever and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
             
And I will love you,
                             
For - ever and ever, we never will part,
               
Oh, how I'll love you,
                                       
To - gether, to - gether, that's how it must be,
                 
To live with - out  you...
                               
...Would only be heart-break for me,
                
           No  - bod -y, but me!
