Maria I recall a time you barely knew my name

Hanging with the guys outside your door

I never dared to dream that I would soon become the one

You’d find out later you were waiting for

Maria I remember all those promises I made

Standing in the church with all our friends

I poured out all my heart and I meant every word I said

And I still feel the way that I did then

Oh Maria you’re changing

The fire in your eyes is nearly gone

Oh Maria I need to feel you smile

Hey Maria come on

Maria now the children are all grown up and gone

I told each one how I enjoyed the ride

We've waited all our lives just to have this time alone

There’s still so many things we haven’t tried

Oh Maria you’re changing

The fire in your eyes is nearly gone

Oh Maria I need to feel you smile

Hey Maria come on

Oh Maria you’re changing

The fire in your eyes is nearly gone gone gone

Oh Maria I need to feel you smile

Hey Maria come on please Maria come on

Oh Maria you re changing
