Intro: F#m F#m/B E4 A7+ D C# )
Verse:
F#m F#m/B
The moment I wake up
E4 A7+
Before I put on my makeup
D C# F#m
I say a little prayer for you
F#m/B
While combing my hair, now,
E4 A7+
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
D C#
I say a little prayer for you
Chorus:
D E C#m F#m
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
A
and I will love you
D E C#m F#m
Forever, forever, we never will part
A
Oh, how I'll love you
D E C#m F#m
Together, together, that's how it must be
A
To live without you
D C#
Would only be heartbreak for me.
Verse:
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.

My darling believe me,

For me there is no one

But you.

This is my prayer
A7+

I'm in love with you
