maria if i could

Marty Robbins

Maria, you re the only one
That ever understood the way I feel
Maria, you re the only one
To me that was ever real
And yet you bid me go because inside your heart
You know I cannot stay
But keep a light in your window burnin
Little girl, I m comin home some day

Maria, if I only had the power
To turn back the hands of time
I d spread my wings around you
And, little girl, I d make you mine
Cause all you ever wanted was to love me
In your plain and honest way
So keep a light in your window burnin
Little girl, I m comin back some day

Oh, Maria, you gave me the precious gift of love
That I have ever known
And then you kissed me gently
For when I opened up my eyes, you were gone
And now I m gonna lose the only good thing
That ever came my way
So keep a light in your window burnin
Little girl, I m comin back some day
Keep a light in your window burnin
Little girl, I m comin back some day
