I Say a Little Prayer
KITCHEN - Aretha Franklin Lyrics

The moment I wake up
As soon as I open my eyes in the morning

Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
Before I apply my cosmetics

I say a little prayer for you
I offer a small prayer on your behalf

And while combing my hair, now
During the process of brushing my hair

And wondering what dress to wear, now (wear, now)
And contemplating which outfit to choose

I say a little prayer for you
I send another small prayer for you

Forever (forever), forever ('ever)
Eternally, for all time

You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
You will remain deeply cherished within me and I will continue to love you

We never will part, oh, how I love you
We will never separate, oh, how intensely I love you

Together (together), together (together)
United, as one

That's how it must be
That is the way it should be

To live without you would only mean heartbreak for me
To exist without you would simply result in emotional anguish for me

Mmh
The sound of an expression of thought or emotion

I run for the bus, dear
I quickly move towards the bus, my dear

While riding I think of us, dear (us, dear)
While traveling, I reflect on our relationship, my dear

I say a little prayer for you
I utter a small prayer for you

And at work I just take time
And during work, I simply take a moment

And all through my coffee break time (break time)
And throughout my designated break period while I have coffee

I say a little prayer for you
I offer another small prayer for you

Mmh
The sound of an expression of thought or emotion

Forever (forever), forever ('ever)
Eternally, for all time

You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
You will remain deeply cherished within me and I will continue to love you

Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
Eternally and indefinitely

We never will part, oh, how I love you
We will never separate, oh, how intensely I love you

Together (together), together (together)
United, as one

That's how it must be
That is the way it should be

To live without you would only mean heartbreak for me
To exist without you would simply result in emotional anguish for me

Nobody but me
No one other than myself

Forever ('ever), and ever (ever)
For all eternity, always

You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
You will remain deeply cherished within me and I will continue to love you

Forever (forever), and ever (ever)
For all time, and indefinitely

We never will part, oh, how I love you
We will never separate, oh, how intensely I love you

Together (together), together (together)
United, as one

That's how it must be
That is the way it should be

To live without you would only mean heartbreak for me
To exist without you would simply result in emotional anguish for me

Mmh-mhm
The sound of an expression of thought or emotion

My darling, believe me (believe me)
My beloved, trust me completely

For me there is no one but you
In my eyes, there is no one besides you

Please love me true
Please love me sincerely

I'm in love with you
I am deeply in love with you

(Answer my prayer) answer my prayer, babe
(Grant my request) fulfill my plea, darling

(Answer my prayer) say you love me true
(Respond to my plea) express your genuine love for me

(Answer my prayer) answer my prayer, baby
(Grant my request) fulfill my plea, dear

(Answer my prayer) yeah
(Grant my request) yes

Forever (forever), and ever (ever)
Eternally, for all time

You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
You will remain deeply cherished within me and I will continue to love you

Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
Permanently and indefinitely

We never will part, oh, how I love you
We will never separate, oh, how intensely I love you

Together (together), together (together)
United, as one

That's how it must be
That is the way it should be

To live without you would only mean heartbreak for me
To exist without you would simply result in emotional anguish for me

Oh, nobody but me
Oh, no one other than myself

My darling, believe me (believe me)
My beloved, trust me completely

For me there is no one but you
In my eyes, there is no one besides you

Please love me true
Please love me sincerely

This is my prayer (answer my prayer, baby)
This is my plea (grant my request, dear)

Answer my prayer now, babe (answer my prayer, baby)
Fulfill my plea now, darling (grant my request, dear)

This is my prayer (answer my prayer, baby)
This is my plea (grant my request, dear)

Answer it right now, babe (answer my prayer, baby)
Fulfill it immediately, darling (grant my request, dear)

Say you love me true (answer my prayer, baby)
Express your genuine love for me (grant my request, dear)

This is my prayer, baby (answer my prayer, baby)
This is my plea, darling (grant my request, dear)

I'm in love with you (answer my prayer)
I am deeply in love with you (grant my request)
