Maria
The thing about life is it just doesn't last
Grandfather clock is counting down fast
Your youth'll be gone in just a few hours
Tomorrow its you who'll be feeding the flowers
Today you're a king, a queen as your bride
Bring the divorce lawyer along for the ride
Today you've a pension to fill up your purse
Tomorrow a ride in the back of hearse
Maria-ia-ia-ia, Maria-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia
Just say the words. Don't make me wait
Tomorrow-ow-ow-ow will be too late
You're starting a job though you've barely been born
Your once pretty face is wrinkled and worn
Lucky your eyesight isn't so right
You won't see your beauty fading from sight
Maria, I love you, Ive swallowed my pride
You say you're not sure, and you can't decide
Tell me you need me like l need you
It won't take forever to tell me you do
Maria-ia-ia-ia, Maria-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia
Just say the words. Don't make me wait
Tomorrow-ow-ow-ow will be too late
Grandfather clock is counting down fast
Your youth'll be gone in just a few hours
Tomorrow its you who'll be feeding the flowers
Today you're a king, a queen as your bride
Bring the divorce lawyer along for the ride
Today you've a pension to fill up your purse
Tomorrow a ride in the back of hearse
Maria-ia-ia-ia, Maria-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia
Just say the words. Don't make me wait
Tomorrow-ow-ow-ow will be too late
You're starting a job though you've barely been born
Your once pretty face is wrinkled and worn
Lucky your eyesight isn't so right
You won't see your beauty fading from sight
Maria, I love you, Ive swallowed my pride
You say you're not sure, and you can't decide
Tell me you need me like l need you
It won't take forever to tell me you do
Maria-ia-ia-ia, Maria-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia-ia
Just say the words. Don't make me wait
Tomorrow-ow-ow-ow will be too late
