[Verse 1: Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick]
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup (Makeup)
I say a little (Prayer for you), ooh, yes, I do
While I'm combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now (Wear now)
I say a little prayer for you

[Chorus: Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin]
Forever and ever
You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
(Forever) Forever (And ever), and ever
(We never will part) Oh, I love you, yeah
(Together) Together (Together), togеther
(That's how it must be to live without you) That's how it must bе
Would only mean heartbreak for me, yeah

[Verse 2: Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick & Aretha Franklin]
I run for the bus, dear
While riding, I think of us, dear (Us, dear)
I say a little prayer for you (Ooh, yes, I do)
And at work, I just take time (Take time)
And all through my coffee break time (Break time)
I'm saying the same (Prayer for you)
Oh, yes, I am
[Chorus: Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin]
Forever (Forever), and ever (And ever)
You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever (Forever), and ever (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, yeah

[Chorus: Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin]
Forever (Forever), and ever
You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever (Forever), and ever (And ever)
We never will part (Oh, how I love you)
Together (Together), together
That's how it must be to live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
Nobody but me now, yeah

[Bridge]
My darling, believe me, believe me
For me, there is no one, no one but you (But you)
Please love me true, ooh
Said, this is my prayer, baby (Yeah, this is my prayer)
Answer my prayer (Answer my prayer, baby)
Answer my prayer, baby
Answer my prayer, baby
[Outro: Dionne Warwick]
Say a little prayer for you
