I Say a Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin

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 wondering 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, 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 Ooh, I say a little prayer for you At work, I just take time (take time) And all through my coffee break time (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 heartbreak for me Nobody but me, eh Yeah, yeah, yeah Say a little prayer for you (you baby) Yeah, yeah, yeah Say a little prayer for you (oh honey) 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 heartbreak for me, yeah My darling, believe me For me, there is no one but you Oh, please love me too I'm in love with you Answer my prayer, baby Say you love me too This is my prayer Ooh, say a little, say a little Say a little prayer, say a prayer

People, people who need people Are the luckiest people in the world We're children needing other children And yet letting our grown-up pride Hide all the need inside Acting more like children than children Lovers are very special people They're the luckiest people in the world With one person, one very special person A feeling deep in your soul Says you were half now you're whole No more hunger and thirst But first be a person who needs people People, people who need people Are the luckiest people in the world With one person, one very special person A feeling deep in your soul Says you were half now you're whole No more hunger and thirst But first be a person who needs people You have got to need people They're the luckiest people in the world
