Lyrics for Song: I Say a Little Prayer
Lyrics for Album: Essentials [2010]
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
