I Say a Little Prayer Lyrics

[00:12.84] The moment I wake up
[00:16.84] Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
[00:20.62] I say a little (prayer for you)
[00:24.57] And while I'm combing my hair now
[00:28.48] And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
[00:32.21] I say a little (prayer for you)
[00:35.94] (Forever) Forever (and ever) yeah
[00:37.71] (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
[00:40.67] (Forever) Forever (and ever) ever
[00:43.26] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[00:45.67] (Together) Together (together) together
[00:47.57] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[00:50.43] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[00:54.65]
[00:56.90] I run for the bus, dear
[01:00.53] And while riding I think of us, dear (us, dear)
[01:04.41] I say a little (prayer for you)
[01:08.62] And at work I just take time
[01:12.63] And all through my coffee break time (break time)
[01:16.24] I say a little (prayer for you)
[01:19.94] (Forever) Forever (and ever) and ever

[01:29.76] (Together) together (together) together
[01:31.39] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[01:34.67] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[01:38.15] Nobody but me

[01:45.22] (Forever) Forever (and ever) ever
[01:47.22] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[01:50.28] (Together) together (together) together
[01:51.97] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[01:55.14] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[02:01.16] My darling, believe me (believe me)
