maria

there's 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 passin' through

another town along the highway

i never meant to fall for you

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

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

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 a heart to stay with you

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

when i sleep with you

maria

there's nothin' left for dreams to steal
