Em7 Am7
The moment I wake up

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

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear

At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you
