Lyrics My Special Prayer - Percy Sledge

While the choir sang, Ave Maria
Oh 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 sang, 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 right away
Oh if you stay, away another hour
I don't think, I can last another day

While the choir sang.
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
Umm, umm, umm
Umm, umm, umm
