I Say A Little Prayer For You

Patty Ascher

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my make up
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wond'ring what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart brake for me

I run for the bus now, 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, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart brake 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

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart brake 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.

While combing my hair now
At the time when I'm grooming my hair
