My Special Prayer

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 be mean 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 stayed, away another hour
Well I don´t think I could last another day
While the choir sang, oh sang, Ave Maria
Whoa I was singing with all my heart
Darling please, come back and never leave me again
Oh that would be (this will be) oh the answer to my prayer
FADES-
Umm, umm, umm, um-hm
Umm, umm, umm, um-hm
Umm, umm, umm, um-hm
