Maria Elena (American Dream Edit) (Roy Thigpen)

Maria Elena Written by: Roy Thigpen Copyright 2025 [Verse 1] It happens without fail, I tell you, I go to the office and I find myself staring, It's not my fault you're so damn beautiful, If I'm meant to be cool, I'm failing. [Verse 2] You have eyes that pierce the very soul, lips that make me go, a little bit loco, When you're teaching I miss my goal, because with you, is where my mind will go. [Spanish Bridge] Cada día, estás en mis sueños, donde bailamos en los cielos, y me enamoro de ti, con un amor de fuego. Podemos ir a la playa, y jugar en el mar todo el día, tú en mis brazos, mientras bailamos, al son de la música que solo nosotros podemos oír. [Verse 3] I know we grew from divergent roots, and you come from a much different way of life, But the time has come for me to put on my boots, And start down that path to making you my wife. [Verse 4] I dream of taking you around the world, a home we will have to prep, Our whole future lays unfurled, All I have to do is take that first step. [Chorus] You're my perfect match, together our souls will soar, We will build our future, and am excited for what's in store, Because you will be with me, as my beautiful wife, My American dream has really, finally come to life.
