MARIA
Maria
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me
Maria
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be
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
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be
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
LONG TIME, SAD TIME, BAD TIME
Listen baby, he's coming home
Where he belongs
So stop your weeping
And on the high tide
He'll be by your side
In the bed he always
Used to sleep in
So stop your wonderin', guessin'
Sammy J. is coming home
It's been a long time, sad time
Bad time living on your own
For your sadness will turn to gladness
By the time you count
One hundred and ten, girl
Wash your baby, cook the dinner
Listen for the bell, and then, girl
Stop your wonderin', guessin'
Sammy J. is coming home
It's been a long time, sad time
Bad time living on your own
All the years you've been crying
All the time you've felt like dying
All you really needed was to be
Beside the one you love, oh, oh
Listen baby, he's coming home
Where he belongs
So stop your weeping
And on the high tide
He'll be by your side
In the bed he always
Used to sleep in
So stop your wonderin', guessin'
Sammy J. is coming home
It's been a long time, sad time
Bad time living on your own
All the tears you've been crying
All the times you've felt like dying
All you really needed was to be
Beside the one you love, oh, oh
For your sadness will turn to gladness
By the time you count
One hundred and ten, girl
Wash your baby, cook the dinner
Listen for the bell, and then, girl
Stop your wonderin', guessin'
Sammy J. is coming home
It's been a long time, sad time
Bad time living on your own
