I Say a Little Prayer
Celine Gentry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
I say a little prayer for youuu
While combing my hair now
And wonder what dress to wear now (wear now)
I'll say a little prayer for youuu
Forever, forever
Stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever, forever
And ever, and ever
Never apart, oh how I love you
Together, together Is how it must be
To live without you, would only be heartbreak for me
Heeeeyyyeeaahh

Say a little prayer for you
I offer a prayer to ask for blessings upon you
The moment I wake up
As soon as I open my eyes and become alert
Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
Prior to applying cosmetics to my face
I say a little prayer for youuu
I offer a prayer on your behalf
While combing my hair now
As I'm grooming and styling my hair
And wonder what dress to wear now (wear now)
And ponder what attire to don for the day

Forever, and ever
For an infinite amount of time
Stay in my heart and I will love you
Remain in my heart, and my affection for you will endure
