My Best Friend`s Wedding – Say A Little Prayer For You Lyrics     (  http://www.lyricsfreak.com)

Say a little prayer for you

Me, I go, say a little prayer for you

From the moment me wake up

Before me put on me makeup

Me say a little prayer for you

Me combing me hair now

Me, I wonder which dress be wear now, ooh

Me say a little prayer for you

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart and I'll love you

Forever and ever, we never will part, I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it should be without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh

Me run for the bus, love, me I ride, me I think of us, love

Me say a little prayer for you

At work, I just take time and all through my coffee break time, ho

Me say a little prayer for you, oh

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart and I'll love you

Forever and ever, we never will part and I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it should be without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh

Say a little prayer for you

Me, I go, say a little prayer for you

My darling, believe me

For me there is no one but you

Say you love me, too, oh

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart and I'll love you

Forever and ever, we never will part, I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it should be to live, without you

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart and I'll love you

Forever and ever, we never will part, I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it should be, without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart and I'll love you

Forever and ever, we never will part and I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it should be, without you

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart forever and ever

Forever and ever

Together, together, that's how it should be, to live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for you

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart and I'll love you

Forever and ever, we never will part and I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it should be and I'll love you

Forever and ever

Ella Fitzgerald - Begin The Beguine                         Flashback (First posted on October 28, 2012)

Begin the Beguine - Dionne Warwick

Fonte: http://www.seeklyrics.com

When they begin the beguine

It brings back the sound of music so tender

It brings back a night of tropical splendor

It brings back a memory ever green

I'm with you once more under the stars

And down by the shore an orchestra's playing

And even the palms they seem to be swaying

When they begin the beguine

To live it again is past all endeavor

Except when that tune clutches my heart

And there we are, swearing to love forever

And promising never, never to part

What moments divine, what rapture serene

Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted

And now when I hear people curse the chance that we wasted

I know but too well what they mean

So don't let them begin the beguine

Let the love that once was a fire remain an ember

Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember

Oh, when they begin the beguine

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play

Till the stars that were there before return above you

Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"

And suddenly know what heaven we're in

Yes, when they begin the beguine

When they begin the beguine

When they begin the beguine

Let the love that once was a fire remain an ember

Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember

Remain an ember, oh, memory ever green

When they begin, begin the beguine

Let the love that once was a fire remain an ember

Memory, remain an ember
