Percy Sledge - I've Been Loving You Too Long lyrics

While the choir sang, Ave Marie 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 sings hallelujah 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 I pray For if you stayed, away another hour Well I don't think I could last another day While the choir sings hallaluyah I was singing with all my heart Darling please, come back and never leave me again And this will be an answer to my prayer FADES- Umm, umm, umm, um-hm Umm, umm, umm, um-hm Umm, umm, umm, um-hm
