MARIA

MARIA

Maria my love where are you now?

Your eyes sparkled brightly when we made our vow

We promised each other our love to the end

So many memories, how can my heart mend?

Our time together was such fun

Your golden hair reflected the sun

Holding hands we ran through a field of corn

We held each other tightly until the next dawn

Our week was like a lifetime, I’ll never forget

If the rest of my life was wasted; this week I can’t regret

Your kisses made me tingle. Your touch like a fire

Never before had I known such desire

We talked through the night and laughed till we cried

Having you sat beside me I was filled up with pride

I gave you a single red rose every night

Each time your face was a beautiful sight

We lay on the beach and looked at the sky

The clouds making patterns, while we watched the birds fly

We frolicked in the sea, like a couple of kids

We forgot all the things that adulthood forbids

Oh Maria my love, how could it all end?

Just one drunken driver who missed the bend

One minute you were beside me and next you were gone

I fought to keep you breathing and I thought I had won

I held you in my arms and told you of my love

But by then I was too late and you’d had the call from up above

Maria love, our time was short

God was cruel to make our love abort

I only hope you’re waiting still

As no one else, your place can fill

I just hope that I can join you there

And have the chance to prove I care

I know you’ll be an angel. The prettiest one, I’m sure

With wings to match your golden hair and like an eagle, soar

I remember all the good times and for them, I’m glad

But still I cry myself to sleep, because I am so sad
