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, 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, that's how it must be To live without you Would only be heartbreak for me
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, 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, that's how it must be To live without you Would only be heartbreak for me
My darling believe me For me there is no one But you
Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you Stay away too long and I can't do without you Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more But each hurt makes my love stronger than before I know flowers go through rain But how can love go through pain
Ain't that peculiar A peculiar-arity Ain't that peculiar baby Peculiar as can be
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me I've been so much in love with you baby til I don't want to see That things you do and say are designed to make me blue It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all Your lies seem true But if the truth makes love last longer Why do lies make my love stronger
Ain't that peculiar Peculiar as can be Ain't that peculiar baby A peculiar-arity
I cried so much just like a child that's lost its home Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy A child can cry so much until you do everything they say But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way I know love can last through years But how can love last through tears
Now ain't that peculiar baby A peculiar-arity Ain't it peculiar baby Peculiar as can be
Said I don't understand it baby It's so strange sometimes
