Dionne Warwick Medley - Walk on By / A House Is Not a Home / I Say a Little Prayer / Alfie (Live at HBO’s from Washington, D.C, 1997) Lyrics

If you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry

Each time we meet

Walk on by

Walk on by

Make believe

That you don't see the tears just

Let me grieve

In private 'cause each time I see you

Open down and cry

(Just and walk on by)

Just and walk on by

(Just and walk on by)

Just and walk on by

A chair is still a chair

Even when there's no one

Sittin' there

But a chair is not

A house and house and home when

There's no one there to hold you tight

And no one there you can kiss

GoodnightA room is still a room

Even when there's nothing there but gloom

But a room is not a house

And a house is not a home

When the two of us are far apart

And one of us

Has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name

And suddenly your face appears

But it's just a crazy game

When it ends, it ends in tears

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup (makeup)

I say a little (prayer for you)

And while I'm combing my hair now

And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)

I say a little (prayer for you)

(whenever) whenever (ever!) ever!

(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)

(Forever) forever (and ever) and ever

(We never will part, oh, how I love you)

(Together) together (together) together

(That's how it must be to live without you)

(Would only mean heartbreak for me) for meI run for the bus, dear

But while riding, I think of us, dear (us, dear)

I say a little (prayer for you) 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) Come on

(whenever) whenever (ever!) ever!

(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)

(Forever) forever (and ever) and ever

(We never will part, oh, how I love you)

(Together) together (together) together

(That's how it must be to live without you)

(Would only mean heartbreak for me) for me

My darling, believe me (believe me)

For me, there is no one but you, true

I'm in love with you, Say you'll love me true

Answer my prayer, oh lord..

What's it all about, Alfie?

Is it just

For the moment, we

What's it all about

When you sort it out, Alfie?Are we meant to take more than we give

Or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie?

Then I guess it's wise to be cruel

And if life belongs

Only to the strong, Alfie

What will you lend on an old

Golden rule?

As sure as I believe there's a heaven abo-ve, Alfie

I know there's something

Much more

Something even, even non-believers

Can believe in

I believe in love, Alfie

Without true love we just exist, Alfie

Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Al-fie

When you walk

Let your heart

Lead of way

And you'll find love

Any day, Alfie?, Alfie?, Alfie?,Alfie?

Alfie?
