Lyrics

[Verse 1]

While the choir sang, "Ave Maria"

I was singing with all my heart

And I sent a special prayer

Up to Heaven

That you return to me, before I fall apart

[Verse 2]

While the choir sings, "Hallelujah"

I was singing with all of my heart

Darling, please

Come back and never leave me again

And this will be (This will be the answer)

The answer to my prayer

[Verse 3]

And I'll wait

Here for the answer

That you'll come back

Come back right away

For if you stayed

Away another hour

I don't think

I could last another day

[Verse 4]

While the choir sang, "Hallelujah"

I was singing with all of my heart

Darling, please

Come back and never leave me again

And this will be (This will be the answer)

The answer to my prayer
