Marie (Where Are You Now)

Many years have now passed by
From the time of which I speak
When the world was such a wondrous place
And the strong seemed not so weak
She came into my life one day
When all around was dark
We danced around the heavens
And strolled the summer park

When we made love, it seemed as if
The sea for us would part
And angels cried with happiness
As they soothed our aching heart
If love comes but once a lifetime
Then this was surely mine
We'd have been together forever
If fate had not been so unkind

She haunts my days, haunts my nights
The time we spent just seemed so right
I see her face in every star
The memory of her burns so bright
I know the time has passed into eternity
But if I could see her one more time
Marie, where are you now

I held her hand, touched her heart
And begged her not to speak
As I felt the pain of wasted love
As tears fell down her cheek
The moment that we parted
Will haunt me all my life
But our love was cursed forever
Cause I already had a wife

Now that time has left me
Deserted and afraid
It's only now I realise
The path my loyalty laid
For Le Grande Amour that I had found
That was from deception born
Was blessed by God but scorned by man
And lay on a bed of thorns

She haunts my days, haunts my nights
The time we spent just seemed so right
I see her face in every star
The memory of her burns so bright
I know the time has passed into eternity
But if I could see her one more time
Marie, where are you now
Marie, where are you now
