I Say a Little Prayer
Glee Cast/Dianna Agron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I say a little prayer for you)

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
I say a little (prayer for you)
While combing my hair, now
And wonder what dress to wear, now (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 (us, dear)
I say a little (prayer for you)
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time (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
