Come on let's twist again

The moment I wake up
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
Forever, and ever
you'll stay in my heart and I will love your
Forever Forever, and ever
we never will part Oh, how I love you
Together Together, forever
that's how it must be to live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh
I run for the bus, dear
While riding 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 Forever, and ever
you'll stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever Forever, and ever
that's how it must 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.
