Lyrics Maria - Joe Ely

TONY
(Spoken)
Maria .. .

(Sings)
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria .. .
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . .
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria .. .

Maria!
I′ve just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I′ve found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

Maria,
I′ll never stop saying Maria!

The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Maria.
