A superbly performed, beautiful collection ~ By Request
 
Maria
 
( The most beautiful sound I ever heard )
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
( All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word )
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
Maria, Maria . . .
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria!
And suddenly that name will never be the same to me . . .
 
Maria!
I’ve 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 playin’,
Say it soft and it’s almost like prayin’,
Maria!
I’ll never stop sayin’ Maria!
