I've Been Loving You Too Long

Lyrics

Percy Sledge

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
