Sweet Paris prayed into the night,
"Please, O Father, send to me
A man whose very soul is light.
All I ever want to be
Is with the one whose heart is right."
"Please, O Father, send to me
A man whose very soul is light."
God, the Father, heard her plea,
He found a man with true insight,
"All I ever want to be
Is with the one whose heart is right."
God, the Father, heard her plea,
He found a man with true insight,
A man who bowed on bended knee,
Whose words to God were so contrite,
"All I ever want to be
Is with the one whose heart is right."
A man who bowed on bended knee,
Whose words to God were so contrite,
So God did speak quite silently,
And they were filled with true delight,
"All we ever want to be
Is with this one whose heart is right."

Great use of this form and good luck in the contest even though we are competing!
