Would only be heartbreak for me. 

I run for the bus, dear,    While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.        And at work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time, (break-time!)    I say a little prayer for you.

 
Chorus x2 

 

F#m                        Bm
… My darling, believe me
                       E
For me there is  no one
                 A
         but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you (Answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now babe, (Answer my prayer)
Say your love is true  (Answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now babe, (Answer my prayer) oh-oh
