(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

The moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup
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, forever, 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
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, forever, that's how it must be to live 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.

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 heartbreak for me.
