Verse 1:

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

F#m7 B7-9

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, forever, you'll stay in my heart

G7 Fmaj7/G G7 [r.h. kbd: G7: F-G-B-D Fmaj7: F-A-C-E]

And I will love you

Forever, forever, we never will part

Dm7/G G7 [r.h. kbd: Dm7: A-C-D-F]

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me

(piano arr. for guitar)

Verse 2:

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

Coda:

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

Say you love me too

Why don't you answer my prayer, yeah

You know every day I say a little prayer

I say, I say I say a little prayer [fade]
