“Say A Little Prayer” is one of Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s three solo songs she recorded for the British film Boxing Day released in 2021.
The track is a cover of Aretha Franklin’s classic and is the second track she sings on the movie, which is also her debut performance as an actress.
[Verse 1]
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
I'm combing my hair now
And I wonder what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you
[Chorus]
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
[Verse 2]
I run for the bus, dear
And, 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
[Chorus]
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only bring heartbreak for me
[Bridge]
My darling, believe me
For me, there is no one
No one but you
Please, love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayers now, baby
Say you love me too
Answer my prayers now, baby, my baby
[Chorus]
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only bring heartbreak for me, oh
[Outro]
For me, hmm
