Lyric

People see us everywhereThey think you really careBut myself, I can’t deceiveI know it’s only make believe
My one and only prayerIs that some day you’ll careMy hopes, my dreams come trueMy one and only you
No one will ever knowHow much I love you soMy only prayer will beSome day you’ll care for meBut it’s only make believe
My hopes, my dreams come trueMy life, I’d give for youMy heart, a wedding ringMy all, my everything
My heart I can’t controlYou rule my very soulMy only prayer will beSome day you’ll care for meBut it’s only make believe
My one and only prayerIs that some day you’ll careMy hopes, my dreams come trueMy one and only you
No one will ever knowHow much I love you soMy prayer, my hopes, my schemesYou are my every thingBut it’s only make believe (make believe)
