I Say a Little Prayer Lyrics

[00:12.39] The moment I wake up
[00:15.97] Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
[00:19.78] I say a little (prayer for you)
[00:23.28] And while I'm combing my hair now
[00:26.50] And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
[00:31.43] I say a little (prayer for you)
[00:34.57] (Forever) Forever (and ever) yeah
[00:37.06] (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
[00:39.77] (Forever) Forever (and ever) ever
[00:41.91] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[00:44.74] (Together) Together (together) together
[00:46.42] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[00:49.67] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[00:55.31] I run for the bus, dear
[00:59.45] And while riding I think of us, dear (us, dear)
[01:04.28] I say a little (prayer for you)
[01:08.43] And at work I just take time
[01:11.89] And all through my coffee break time (break time)
[01:16.25] I say a little (prayer for you)
[01:18.46] (Forever) Forever (and ever) and ever
[01:20.31] (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
[01:23.28] (Forever) Forever (and ever) and ever
[01:25.27] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[01:28.39] (Together) together (together) together
[01:30.21] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[01:33.70] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[01:36.62] Nobody but me

[01:46.13] (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
[01:49.45] (Together) together (together) together
[01:51.30] (That's how it must be to live without you)
[01:54.41] (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
[02:00.24] My darling, believe me (believe me)
[02:04.20] For me there is no one but you
