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 burninLittle 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 burninLittle girl, I'm comin' back some day
