[Verse 1]
Every morning I would wake up
And I'd tie the sun around a cup
And I felt your love higher than the sky
No one in this world but you and I
Had tasted love so sweet
You held me in your arms, softer as the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, mi amore my love never dies
Mi amore, look into my eyes

[Chorus]
We had a love so high
I could never walk away, baby
A love so high
I could reach out and touch the sky
Tell me why
I say a little prayer for you and I
We had a love so high

[Verse 2]
Now I wake up in the middle of the night
Your face in front of me
Like a candle burning brighter than the flame
And I see everything inside your eyes
Your smile, your touch, your alibis
And I wish that you could be with me all night

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, mi amore I wish that I could fly
Mi amore, look into my eyes

[Chorus]
We had a love so high
I could never walk away, baby
A love so high
I could reach out and touch the sky
Tell me why
I say a little prayer for you and I
We had a love so high
(I say a little prayer for you and I)

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
We had a love so high
I could never walk away, baby
A love so high
I could reach out and touch the sky
Tell me why
I say a little prayer for you and I
We had a love so high
(I say a little prayer for you and I)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, mi amore my love never dies
Mi amore, look into my eyes

[Chorus]
We had a love so high
I still need you every day, baby
A love so high
Time's ticking away
Tell me why
I say a little prayer for you and I
(I say a little prayer for you and I)
I still need you every day, baby
(I say a little prayer for you and I)
We had a love so high
I would never ever walk away (Ever walk away)
A love so high
I could reach out and touch the sky
Tell me why
I can't see you anymore (I can't see you anymore)
I say a little prayer for you and I (Can't see you anymore)
I say a little prayer for you and I (Can't see you anymore)
(Can't see you anymore, more, more)
I would never ever walk away

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
