[Em]The moment I [Am7]wake up
[Am7]Before I put [D7]on my [G]makeup
I [F#m7]say a little prayer for [B7]you
[Em]While combing my [Am7]hair, now
[Am7]And wondering what [D7]dress to [G]wear, now
I [F#m7]say a little prayer for [B7]you
[Cmaj7]Forever, [D7/C]forever, [B7]you'll stay in my heart
And [D/G]I [G]will [D/G]love [G]you
[Cmaj7]Forever, [D7/C]forever, we [B7]never will part
Oh, [D/G]how [G]I'll [D/G]love [G]you
[Cmaj7]Together, [D7/C]together, that's [B7]how it must be
To [D/G]live [G][D/G]without [G]you
Would [Cmaj7]only be [D7/C]heartbreak for [B7]me
[Em]I run for the [Am7]bus, dear
[Am7]While riding I [D7]think of [G]us, dear
I [F#m7]say a little prayer for [B7]you
[Em]At work, I just [Am7]take time
[Am7]And all through my [D7]coffee [G]break-time
I [F#m7]say a little prayer for [B7]you
[Cmaj7]Forever, [D7/C]forever, [B7]you'll stay in my heart
And [D/G]I [G]will [D/G]love [G]you
[Cmaj7]Forever, [D7/C]forever, we [B7]never will part
Oh, [D/G]how [G]I'll [D/G]love [G]you
[Cmaj7]Together, [D7/C]together, that's [B7]how it must be
To [D/G]live [G][D/G]without [G]you
Would [Cmaj7]only be [D7/C]heartbreak for [B7]me
