Maria

Ther'es a soft rain tappin' on your window

There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay

And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows

To music playin' far away



I never meant to stay an hour

I thought that I was passing through

Another town along the highway

I never meant to fall for you



CHORUS:

But I can't speak for you Maria

I only know the way I feel

When I sleep with you, Maria

There's nothing left for dreams to steal



On a Bible by the mirror

The only treasures that we hold

The only secrets that we're keepin'

A watch, a chain, a cross of gold



REPEAT CHORUS



When the sunlight brings the mornin'

I can't tell you what I'll do

But I've a mind to take you with me

And I've got heart to stay with you



REPEAT CHORUS



When I sleep with you, Maria

There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
