I Say a Little Prayer Lyrics

[00:12.28] The moment I wake up
[00:16.15] Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
[00:19.75] I say a little (prayer for you)
[00:23.89] And while I'm combing my hair now
[00:27.64] And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
[00:31.31] I say a little (prayer for you)
[00:34.89] (Forever) Forever (and ever) yeah
[00:36.96] (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
[00:39.73] (Forever) Forever (and ever) ever
[00:41.92] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[00:44.74] (Together) Together (together) together
[00:46.78] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[00:49.74] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[00:56.18] I run for the bus, dear
[00:59.64] And while riding I think of us, dear (us, dear)
[01:03.64] I say a little (prayer for you)
[01:07.69] And at work I just take time
[01:11.49] And all through my coffee break time (break time)
[01:15.35] I say a little (prayer for you)
[01:18.74] (Forever) Forever (and ever) and ever

[01:28.85] (Together) together (together) together
[01:30.85] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[01:33.80] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[01:37.16] Nobody but me

[01:46.28] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[01:49.17] (Together) together (together) together
[01:51.22] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[01:54.02] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[02:00.27] My darling, believe me (believe me)
