    shoutout to Lianne La Havas for the inspo on this take on this classic. she’s one of my favorite artists. i said smokin out the window was my most difficult cover… but nah this one was it. sounds really simple but i’ve never done this chord progression and that hook takes some WIND!! 🥲😮‍💨

    This shares the same vibe as drinking a coffee with warm wooly socks on, sitting in a magnificent armchair, in front of a wide window with the morning sun shining on your skin, warming you up, feeling like you’re being cuddled.
    In other words, this is smooth af 🤩

    I don't buy albums anymore, and I never understood why people used to buy albums of an artist doing covers - but listening to you regularly I finally get it. I know you want to pump out your original music commercially over your covers, but I would listen to both quite happily for hours.

    The moment I wake up
    Before I put on my makeup (make up)
    I say a little pray 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, 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 mean heartbreak for me
    I run for the bus, dear
    While riding I think of us, dear (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 must be
    To live without you
    Would only mean heartbreak for me
    Nobody would be
    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 must be
    To live without you
    Would only mean heartbreak for me
    My darling, believe me (believe me)
    For me, there is no one but you!
    Please, love me too
    And I'm in love with you (answer my pray)
    Answer my prayer, babe (answer my pray)
    Say you love me too (answer my pray)
    Answer my pray, babe (answer my pray)
    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 must be
    To live without you
    Would only mean heartbreak for me
    My darling believe me (believe me)
    For me there is no one but you!
