Lyrics for Song: I Say a Little Prayer
Lyrics for Album: Aretha Now
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
no body but me
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh
(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
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe
Say you love me too
Answer it right now babe
Answer my prayer

I Say a Little Prayer
Aretha Franklin's 'I Say a Little Prayer' stands as a testament to her mastery of gospel-infused soul. Recorded during the height of her career, the track exemplifies her ability to blend spiritual reverence with secular passion, a hallmark of her discography. The song features her signature vocal delivery, characterized by soaring runs and deep emotional resonance, which became a defining element of her sound in the 1960s and beyond. As a staple of her live performances and studio recordings, it reflects the profound influence of her church background on her artistry. The composition remains a powerful expression of faith and hope, showcasing her status as the 'Queen of Soul' through its timeless appeal and enduring presence in the canon of American music. |
