|
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 |
