The moment I wake up   Before I put on my makeup   I say a little prayer for you   While combing my hair, now   And wonder what dress to wear, now   I say a little prayer for you      Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart   And I will love you   Forever, and ever, we never will part   Oh, how I'll love you   Together, together, that's how it must be   To live without you   Would only mean heartbreak for me      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, you'll stay in my heart   And I will love you   Forever, and ever, we never will part   Oh, how I'll love you   Together, together, that's how it must be   To live without you   Would only mean heartbreak for me      I say a little prayer for you      I say a little prayer for you      Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart   And I will love you   Forever, and ever, we never will part   Oh, how I'll love you   Together, together, that's how it must be   To live without you   Would only mean heartbreak for me      My darling, believe me   For me there is no one, but you   Please love me, too   I'm in love with you   Answer my prayer   Say you love me, too.      Why don't you answer my prayer?      You know, every day I say a little prayer      I said, I say, I say a little prayer
