My Special Prayer

Joe Simon


Tom: G

While the choir sang, ave marie I was singing with all my heart
            G             D7          D7                   G
And I sent a special prayer, up to heaven
                        G7          C
That you'll return to me before I fall apart
            G           D7       G
While the choir sings hallelujah
            G           D7
I was singing with all my heart
            D7          G
Darling please come back and never leave me again
            G      G7              C
And this will be (this will be) the answer to my prayer
               G           D7      G
And I'll wait, here for the answer
            D7          G
That you'll come back, come back I pray
            D7          G
For if you stayed, away another hour
            D7          G
Well I don't think I could last another day
            A                    D  D#              
While the choir sings hallaluyah
            G#          D#
I was singing with all my heart
            D#          G#
Darling please, come back and never leave me again
            D#          C#
And this will be an answer to my prayer
