[Verse] Sweet Maria you stole my calm Your laugh a melody my soothing balm Every glance a spark every word a song Your touch so fleeting but it lingers long [Chorus] Oh Sweet Maria where did you go Like a ghost in the moonlight you stole the show Sweet Maria Sweet Maria don't leave me low Oh Sweet Maria I need to know [Verse 2] Your perfume drifts like a summer breeze A memory tangled in magnolia trees I reach for your shadow but it slips away Sweet Maria don't make me wait all day [Bridge] Your name’s a rhythm it dances in the air Sweet Maria Sweet Maria you're everywhere A dream I’m chasing but can't ever snare Oh Sweet Maria do you even care [Chorus] Oh Sweet Maria where did you go Like a ghost in the moonlight you stole the show Sweet Maria Sweet Maria don't leave me low Oh Sweet Maria I need to know [Outro] Sweet Maria my heart's on fire A flame that burns with a deep desire I call your name as the night grows dire Sweet Maria Sweet Maria don't let me tire
