Maria Songtext
von Joe Ely

Ringing in the New Year′s Eve alone
The glitter of the party lights turns my face to home
Lovers and acquaintances all through the land
Celebrate a greener time down miles and miles of sand

The wheel of fortune has stopped again
Though the winning number was lost in the wind
But I heard a gypsy swear it was stolen by someone
Who steers a lonesome chariot in circles around the sun

Maria, I love you
Maria, I miss you


The clock strikes twelve and cannons are fired
The echo was heard 'til a year from tonight
The old man with his sickle just lay down and died
While I held the baby′s hand and danced where he lied

Maria, I love you
Maria, I miss you

Maria, I love you
Maria, I miss you
Maria, I love you
Maria, I miss you
Maria, I love you
Maria, I miss you
Maria, I love you
Maria
Maria, I love you

Maria
