I Say a Little Prayer" is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) for Dionne Warwick in 1967. (LP The windows of the world). The song, already well loved in this first version was recorded 9 months later by Aretha Franklin (1968) as part of her album Aretha Now and the B-side of her 1968 single, "The House that Jack Built" (#2 R&B/#6 Pop).
The song took off with Aretha, selling over a million copies. DJs flipped the single and began playing her version.

Lyrics:
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.

Ελληνική απόδοση
Μόλις ξυπνώ
Πριν ετοιμαστώ
Λέω μια μικρή προσευχή για σένα
Τώρα ενώ χτενίζομαι
Κι αναρωτιέμαι τι θα φορέσω, τώρα,
Λέω μια μικρή προσευχή για σένα

Πάντα, μα πάντα, θα σαι στην καρδιά μου
Και θα σ αγαπώ
Πάντα, μα πάντα, δε θα χωρίσουμε ποτέ
Ω πόσο θα σ αγαπώ
Μαζί, μαζί, έτσι πρέπει να είναι
Η ζωή χωρίς εσένα
Θα μου ράγιζε την καρδιά

Tρέχω να προλάβω το λεωφορείο, καλέ μου,
κι ενώ ταξιδεύω σκέφτομαι εμάς, καλέ μου,
Λέω μια μικρή προσευχή για σένα
Στη δουλειά κλέβω χρόνο
Και σ όλο το διάλειμμα για καφέ
Λέω μια μικρή προσευχή για σένα.

Πάντα, μα πάντα, θα σαι στην καρδιά μου
Και θα σ αγαπώ
Πάντα, μα πάντα, δε θα χωρίσουμε ποτέ
Ω πόσο θα σ αγαπώ
Μαζί μαζί έτσι πρέπει να είναι
Η ζωή χωρίς εσένα
Θα μου ράγιζε την καρδιά

Αγάπη μου πίστεψέ με
Για μένα υπάρχεις
Μόνο εσύ.
