Píseň: My Special Prayer

Interpret:
Percy Sledge
Album:
When A Man Loves A Woman
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
