I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
ARETHA FRANKLIN
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 you)
(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
(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.
(Forever) Forever, and ever
(you'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(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
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you.
(Answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe,

Say you love me too.

Answer my prayer, dear.
(Answer my prayer)
(Forever) Forever, and ever, ever
(you'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(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, nobody but me
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too.
