[Intro] [Old-school lighter flick, smooth pads in Add/libs] She comes with the breeze... Golden eyes, floating free... [Verse 1] Velvet skin, fire in her smile Moves so slow, like time in denial Every step a melody I can't ignore She don’t knock, she just slips through my door [Pre-Chorus] She don’t speak, but I feel the sound Wrapped in green, lifting off the ground Whispers soft, in a velvet tone And when she’s gone… I’m never alone [Chorus] Oh Maria, dancing in my mind You light me up, you leave me blind Sweet euphoria in the air I breathe You're the calm inside the heat Velvet Maria... don’t ever leave [Verse 2] Candlelight flickers on her face Summer haze, slow motion embrace She don’t stay long, but the taste remains And when she fades, I feel no pain [Bridge] [echoed, floating] Touch so smooth Eyes so wild Burning slow Like a summer child... [Chorus – repeat with variation] Oh Maria, high in my soul You disappear, but I still feel whole Drift through dreams, in your smoky trail Velvet winds and a purple veil [Outro] [Just breathing, waves, distant laughter] Maria... ...still here in the air...
