Lyrics Processional / Maria - Richard Rodgers , Oscar Hammerstein II

How do you solve a problem like Maria,
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How can you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet? A willow-o-the-wisp? A clown?
Many of things you know you'd like to tell her, many of things she ought to understand, but how can you make her stay, and listen to all you say? How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
