Glória - Dublin's Lesbian and Gay Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever
And I will love you
Forever and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, forever
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I run for the bus dear
While riding it I think of us dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever
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
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
My darling believe me
For me there is no one
But you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
Forever and ever
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
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

The moment I wake up
Each day when I first open my eyes
Before I put on my makeup
Before I start my daily routine of getting ready
I say a little prayer for you
I send my thoughts and wishes your way
While combing my hair now
As I groom myself
And wondering what dress to wear now
Thinking about what to wear for the day
Forever and ever
For all time
You'll stay in my heart
You will always be in my thoughts and feelings
And I will love you
And my affection for you will endure
We never will part
We will never be separated
Oh how I'll love you
Oh, the depth of my love for you
Together, forever
We will always be together
That's how it will be
That is the way things will remain
To live without you
Existing without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
Would only lead to pain and sorrow for me
I run for the bus dear
When I rush to catch my transportation
While riding it I think of us dear
As I travel, my mind is on us
At work I just take time
During my workday, I pause
And all through my coffee break time
And even when I take a break for coffee
My darling believe me
My beloved, trust my words
For me there is no one but you
In my heart, there is only you
Please love me too
Kindly reciprocate my love
I'm in love with you
I have strong affection for you
Answer my prayer
Grant my request
