Aretha Franklin

Grandes voces negras es el nombre del ciclo que hoy inaugura Aretha Franklin . Un paseo por su biografía de la mano de Adriana Mourelos y esta canción como muestra de la portentosa voz de "Lady soul".

"I say a little prayer (For you)", es un tema compuesto por Burt Bacharach en los 60 para Dionne Warwick que apareció editado en 1967 en su álbum "The Windows of the World". En 1968 se lanzó en single la versión de Aretha Franklin y fue en 1997, cuando el director P.J. Hogan lo rescató para el cine, formando parte de la música de la película "La boda de mi mejor amigo".

I say a little prayer (For you)

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my make up
I say a little prayer for you
While combling 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 and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I run for the bus dear
While riding it 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 and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever
You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
My darling believe me
For me there's no one
But you
Please love me too
Please love me too.
