sweet maria

Singer:mclaughlin, jon

there's a place in california

where the beach runs out of sand

the sun comes up every morning

no matter where it's been

she stands at the window

singin' songs for people she will never meet

busy city

lonely corners

full of fallen stars

god help all the angels

guardin' broken hearts

she wears it like an armor

it's the only dream she never got to have

sweet maria

keep on dreaming

no matter how long the night

don't you know i still believe

it's gonna be alright

alright

there's a street in san francisco

that never got a name

sometimes it seems in passing

you maybe feel that way

your smiles are like a movie

that you never stayed around to see the end

sweet maria

keep on dreaming

no matter how long the night

don't you know i still believe

it's gonna be alright

alright

the other day i saw a picture

some place that i had never been

i wrote my thoughts down in a letter

i know i'm never gonna send

sweet maria

keep on dreaming

no matter how long the night

don't you know i still believe

gonna be alright

alright

sweet maria

keep on dreaming

no matter how long the night

don't you know i still believe

it's gonna be alright

alright
