Greece:Kostas Martakis live at the Greek National Final

Kostas Martakis singing "Always and Forever" live at the Greek National Final on February 27, 2008. This is a special Dance Version of the song.




Lyrics:
Ι walked alone and Ι lived simply my own life
and nothing matter besides my needs.
Ι used my way and my words like a bold knife
to clear the road and to where it leads.
And then Ι found you, now Ι know where I'm going
and what my life is meant to be
I feel a strength inside my heart that is growing
and it just conquers my inner me.

Always and forever with you
and no matter what I'll be there
baby you're so good to be true
and I have it all if you care.
Always and forever with you
in your eyes I see my dreams shine
ask me to be yours and I'll do
and with you I'll make the world mine.
With you together
With you forever

I place my whole life in this ring on your finger
I hold your hand and I walk ahead
I play this song for you as I am your singer
"I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend"
