[Intro: Dionne Warwick]
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm

[Verse 1: Dionne Warwick]
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
Wondering what dress I'm gonna wear now
I say a little prayer, say a little prayer for you

[Chorus: Dionne Warwick]
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

[Verse 2: David Elliott]
I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
Say a little prayer for you
Now at work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
Say a little prayer for you
[Chorus: David Elliott, Dionne Warwick, Dionne Warwick & David Elliott]
Forever (Forever), forever (Forever), you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever (Forever), forever (Forever), we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together (Together), together (Together), that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only (Would only mean) heartbreak for me

[Verse 2: Dionne Warwick, David Elliott]
I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer, say a little prayer for you (Ooh, ooh)
At work, I just take time (I take time)
And all through my coffee break-time
Say a little prayer for you

[Chorus: David Elliott, Dionne Warwick, Dionne Warwick & David Elliott]
Forever (Forever), forever (Forever), you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you (Ooh)
Together (Together), together (Together), that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only (Would only mean) heartbreak for me
[Outro: Dionne Warwick, David Elliott, Dionne Warwick & David Elliott]
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one, nobody but you
Please love me, too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
Say you love me, too
Oh, won't you say your little prayer, baby?
Come on and say you love me too
Say you love me too
Oh, I'll say a little prayer, baby
Come on and say you love me
If you do, I will say a little prayer for you
Say a little prayer for you
Say a little prayer for you
Say a little prayer for you
Say a little prayer for you
Answer my prayer, baby
Won't you answer my prayer? (Answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer, baby
Come on and answer, answer my prayer
Answer my prayer, baby
Oh, won't you answer my prayer?
