#92 I Say A Little Prayer (Aretha Franklin) 👍🏼

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, 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

Affordable Luxury

“Luxury need not have a price–comfort itself is luxury.”

Geoffrey Beene (American Fashion Designer; August 30th, 1924 to September 28th, 2004)

“The Universe is not stingy. We are. Some of us have very stingy souls. Perhaps not in how we treat others–our family, friends, and those less fortunate–but in how we treat ourselves. Yet how can Spirit give more to is if our fists, hearts, and minds are clenched tight?”

“Today, declare to the Universe that you are open to receiving all the abundance it’s waiting patiently to bestow. Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving. it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart.”

“I find that my ability to embrace the abundance in my life daily has unfolded greater happiness and peace in my life.”
