PERCY SLEDGE - MY SPECIAL PRAYER
(trad.; bew. J. Simon)
Atlantic ATL 70.242

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
Whoa, 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 yeah
Oh if you stay away another hour
Well I don't think I can last another day

While the choir was sing, oh sing
Ave Maria
Whoa I was singing with all, all my heart
Darling please come back and never leave me again
Oh that would it be
(this will be) oh the answer to my prayer

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