Hail Mary - Michael McDonald, Mr Jukes

What really lies

At the heart of a memory

The power of one

Moment in time

When I had your love

It felt like winning

But I’ve paid the price with my peace of mind

Don’t you find it strange

I still wonder why

After all this time

Not a day goes by

That my heart doesn’t wonder if it’s still worth a try

Worth one more Hail Mary

But you don’t really know about such things, now do you

Does the sound of my voice still carry

Any kind of message still important to you

Or should I just let it die baby

Should I just let it die baby

Why can’t I just let it lie baby

I think of a time

When it came easy

Lost in exchange

For the wisdom of tears

Saddest of fools clutching to vapor

Reaching for something

That’s no longer here

Don’t you think it strange

I still wonder why

After all this time

Not a day goes by

That my heart doesn’t wonder if it’s still worth a try

One more Hail Mary

But you don’t really know about such things, now do you

Does the sound of my voice still carry

Any kind of memory that’s still precious to you

Oh, baby one more Hail Mary

Maybe you don’t care about such things, now do you

Does the sound of my voice still carry

Any kind of message still important to you

Or should I just let it die baby

Should I just let it die baby

Why can’t I just let it lie baby

Don’t you find it strange now

I still wonder why

After all this time

Not a day goes by

That my heart doesn’t wonder if it’s still worth a try

One more Hail Mary

But you don’t really know about such things, now do you

Does the sound of my voice still carry

Any kind of message still important to you

Oh baby, just one more Hail Mary

Maybe you know about such things, now do you

Does the sound of my voice still carry

Any kind of memory that’s still precious to you

Still precious to you baby

Hail Mary, no no

Would they precious to you baby

Oh no, baby, just one more, one more

Baby, just one more Hail Mary

One more

Give me one more Hail Mary
