Lyrics of I Say a Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin

verse

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
I say a little prayer for you
And while combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
I say a little prayer for you

chorus

(Forever) forever (forever) yeah
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) forever (and ever) ever
(We never will part, oh, how I love you)
(Together) together, (together) together
(That's how it must be, to live without you)
(Would only mean heartbreak for me) Ooh

verse

I run for the bus, dear
When while riding I think of us, dear (us, dear)
I say a little prayer for you
And at work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time (break time)
I say a little prayer for you

chorus

(Forever) forever (forever) and ever
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) forever (and ever) ever
(We never will part, oh, how I love you)
(Together) together, (together) together
(That's how it must be, to live without you)
(Would only mean heartbreak for me)
Nobody but me

chorus

(Forever) forever (and ever) ever
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) forever (and ever) ever
(We never will part, oh, how I love you)
(Together) together, (together) together
(That's how it must be to live without you)
(Would only mean heartbreak for me)

verse

My darling, believe me (believe me)
For me there is no one but you
Please love me true
I'm in love with you (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer, baby (answer my prayer)
Say you'll love me true (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer, baby (answer my prayer)

chorus

(Forever) forever (and ever) ever
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you) ever
(Forever) forever (and ever) ever
(We never will part, oh, how I love you)
(Together) together, (together) together
(That's how it must be to live without you)
(Would only mean heartbreak for me)
Oh, nobody but me

bridge

My darling, believe me (believe me)
For me there is no one but you
Please love me true

outro

This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now, baby (answer my prayer, baby)
This is my prayer (answer my prayer, baby)
Answer it right now, baby (answer my prayer, baby)
Say you'll love me true (answer my prayer, baby)
This is my prayer, baby (answer my prayer, baby)
I'm in love with you (answer my prayer)
Writer(s): Burt F. Bacharach, Hal David
