Lyrics

Maria

[Verse]

The most beautiful sound I've ever heard

Maria, oh, Maria

All of the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word

Maria, I love you, Maria

Maria

Maria

I've just met a girl named Maria

And suddenly I've found

How wonderful a sound can be

Maria

I've just kissed a girl named Maria

And suddenly I've found

How wonderful a sound can be

[Chorus] x2

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

Maria, beautiful, wonderful

Maria, sweet Maria

Maria

Maria
