Percy Sledge - My Special Prayer

While the choir sings Ave Maria

I was singing with all my heart

And I sent a special prayer up to heaven

That you'll return to me before I fall apart

While the choir sings Hallelujah

I was singing with all my heart

Darling, please come back

And never leave me again

And this will be (this will be)

The answer to my prayer

And I'll wait here for the answer

That you'll come back, come back, I pray

For if you stayed away another hour

I don't think I could last another day

While the choir sings Hallelujah

I was singing with all my heart

Darling, please come back

And never leave me again

And this will be (this will be)

The answer to my prayer

Umm, umm, umm
