I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER - 1968 - ARETHA FRANKLIN

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

I Say a Little Prayer foi composta por Burt Bacharach e Hal David para Dionne Warwick, em 1967. Em 1968, a cação foi incluída no álbum Aretha Now, de Aretha Franklin, e tornou-se o maior hit da Rainha do Soul.

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, forever, you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever, forever, we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only be 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, forever, you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever, forever we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,

For me there is no one

But you.
