    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, and ever,
    (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
    (Forever) Forever, and ever,
    (We never will part Oh, how I love you)
    (Together) Together, forever,
    (That's how it must be to live without you)
    Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh
    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, and ever,
    (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
    (Forever) Forever, and ever,
    (We never will part Oh, how I love you)
    (Together) Together, forever,
    (That's how it must be To live without you)
    Would only mean heartbreak for me
    My darling, believe me
    For me there is no one but you
    Please love me too
    Answer my prayer
    Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh
    Forever, and ever, ever
    (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
    (Forever) Forever, and ever,
    (We never will part Oh, how I love you)
    (Together) Together, forever,
    (That's how it must be to live without you)
    Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me
    My darling, believe me
    For me there is no one but you
    Please love me too
    Answer my prayer
    Answer my prayer now babe
    Say you love me too
    Answer it right now babe
    Answer my prayer

    One of the amazing features of this recording is that the only instruments are a piano, stand-up bass, acoustic guitar, and drums. Aretha’s voice and the back-up singers are so strong, it fills it out like you’re hearing an orchestra. Rare and exceptional talent.

      Burt Bacharach and Hal David launched a bushel of superstars in the 60s and 70s with his compositions. My musical tastes are pretty eclectic anyway but Bacharach was among my favorite composers as a kid, right in the midst of the British Invasion and rock revolution. Guess I'm an old soul but even as a kid I got off on Adult Contemporary, and Burt Bacharach _owned_ the genre back then.

    It sounds like most people remember the very first time they heard this song. Add me to the numbers. I managed a Walgreens, and it's still probably the most boring job I've ever worked. All we had to rely on to get through the day was music. Sadly, they played the same playlist nearly every day. With this song, though, I would stop and listen and indulge in the simplistic beauty of it. Yes, it's beautiful all by itself. Just to hear it is to love it. Yet, if you've ever felt love. Like really, down in the pits of your soul, whether you lost it or have it to hold today, the most beautiful memories blossom while her melodic voice and words fill your heart, even if only for a few moments. We were blessed by the Queen of Soul's presence and impact on our world. In the words of the honorable Rev. Dr. Jim Lawson, "The great gift of life from creation is also the gift of the powers of love...The big task in the 21st Century is that wemove to let LOVE be the power in which we organize every facet of our society."

    I LOVE ARETHA AND YET, BOTH VERSIONS ARE SIMPLY EQUALLY ICONIC. Aretha's could be argued more soulful and yet the arrangement and Dionne's diction and tone is simply magical. It really depends on what mood you might be in. I love the trumpet solos on Warwick's version from the 60's it's just the best, but Aretha highlights the BG singers and it to is surreal the emotion it brings. Whatever version I just happened to hear when it comes on I find myself just as happy to hear.

    Back when people actually let backup singers, well, sing without being barely heard. ❤ I love songs like this even tho I am only 21 years old.

      She just belts this out with perfect tone, without a single blemish, with a vocal range that would shatter glass. You just can't teach vibrato and note progression like this, this is 100% natural talent. God blessed her many times over. Gotta say, too, that whoever was doing backup was on their game. Perfect 3-part harmony and every note hit with precision.
