MY SPECIAL PRAYER - PERCY SLEDGE

REFREIN/CHORUS
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

REFREIN/CHORUS
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

BRIDGE
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

REFREIN/CHORUS
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 wll be) the answer to my prayer.

Umm, umm, umm
Umm, umm, umm
Umm, umm, umm
