I Say a Little Prayer
Karine Costa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I put on my make up (make up)
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
I say a little prayer for you
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
And I'll love you
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together (together), together (together)
That's how it will be
Without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I run for the bus dear
While riding it I think of us dear (us dear)
And I say a little prayer for you, for you
At work I just take time (just take time)
And all through my coffee break time (break time)
I say a little prayer for you, prayer for you
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
You'll stay in my heart
And I'll love you
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together (together), together (together)
That's how it will be
Without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me, for me
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
You'll stay in my heart
And I'll love you
Forever and ever (ever)
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you (how I'll love)
Together (yeah), together (together)
That's how it will be
To live without you (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 (Answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer (Answer my prayer)
Say you love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now
Answer my prayer
I'm so in love with you
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
You'll stay in my heart
And I'll love you
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together (together), together (together)
That's how it will be
Without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
Forever (forever) and ever (ever)
You'll stay in my heart
And I'll love you
Forever (ouh) and ever (ever)
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together (together), together (together)
That's how it will be
Without you
"Say a Little Prayer" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, first recorded in by Dionne Warwick in 1967. Karine Costa covered it in 2002 as part of her album "Emotion". The lyrics talk about a woman who is deeply in love with her man and makes it clear by praying for him throughout the day.
The track begins with the singer waking up and getting ready for her day ahead. She starts her day by praying for her love interest. Later, during her work commute, while she's on the bus, she can't help but ponder how her day would be with the guy she loves by her side. At work, she takes a coffee break and prays for him. The song ends with the woman praying that her love will be reciprocated.
The lyrics in "Say a Little Prayer" demonstrate the love and affection the singer has for her partner. Despite not being together physically, she tries to maintain an emotional connection through her prayers. Even though they are apart, they are together at heart. By the end of the song, the singer makes an appeal to her lover, requesting they love her back, with the hope of fulfilling their wishes together.

J'écoutais quand il y a 7 ans (quand j'en avais 8) Je l'adore cette chanson !! Sans doute la meilleur version (de mon avis personnel bien sure ^.^)

Je regrette que Karine n'aie fait qu'un album... Elle avait dans l'idée de sortir un album de Noël comme Mariah Carey... Dommage. Quelle merveilleuse voix puissante!

Je partage ta douleur. J'adore sa voix. C'est tellement dommage qu'elle n'ait pas vraiment réussi à faire carrière.
J'ai limite envie d'essayer de la contacter pour voir si elle pourrait chanter à mon mariage.
