I Say a Little Prayer
Zoe Birkett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
before i put on my make-up
i say a little prayer for you.
While i'm coming my hair now
and wondering what threads 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, ever, ooooohhhh how i love you.
would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me.
My darling believe me, For me there is noone but you
please love me too
say i'm in love with yooouu.
Answer my prayer now baby
say you love me too"
In Zoe Birkett's song, "Say A Little Prayer", the lyrics depict the deep longing and devotion that the singer has for someone she loves deeply. The first two lines set the stage for the entire song, describing the routine of the singer as she wakes up in the morning and prepares to face the day. However, before she even puts on her makeup, she takes a moment to "say a little prayer" for the person she loves. This shows that this person is always on her mind, even during the most mundane of tasks.
As the song progresses, she continues to express her love and devotion for this person, stating that they will always have a place in her heart and that she will love them forever. She believes that they are meant to be together and that living without them would be unbearable. She then implores this person to reciprocate her feelings and declare their love for her as well, saying "Answer my prayer now baby, say you love me too."

The moment I wake up
As soon as I open my eyes in the morning
Before I put on my make-up
Before I start getting ready for the day by applying cosmetics
I say a little prayer for you.
I offer a small request to a higher power on your behalf.
While I'm combing my hair now
As I groom my locks at the moment
And wondering what threads to wear now
And contemplating what clothing items to put on
I say a little prayer for you.
I continue to say a small plea for you.
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart and I will love you.
You will have a permanent place in my affections, and I will always cherish you.
Forever, ever, ooooohhhh how I love you.
My affection for you will never diminish, for now or eternity.
Together, together to live without you
To live life without you by my side
Would only mean heartbreak for me, Nobody but me.
Would result in nothing but an anguish in my heart, and none other than myself would be affected.
My darling believe me, For me there is no one but you
My love, trust me when I say that there is no one else for me but you
Please love me too, Say I'm in love with you.
Please reciprocate my feelings, and recognize that my love for you is genuine.
Answer my prayer now baby, Say you love me too
Please respond to my request, my dear, and tell me that you have love for me as well

Thanks for sharing this! I have loved her rendition of a few songs. To do a really good rendition of an Aretha Franklin song at her age she was great!
