I still keep her memory around me
I still hear her voice in my head
The boxes of books
That she never took
And pictures that hang by the bed

With so many promises broken
I'll place all my dreams on the shell
And give it my best
To put her to rest
Though I can't believe it myself

Refrain:
Goodbye Maria, I love you
How long will you stay in my heart
I'll try every day
To get myself to say
Goodbye Maria, goodbye

I'll try to forget how she loved me
And hope that her memory will end
But one love around
My world starts tumbling down
And here comes that feeling again

Refrain

I never know why
You had to leave me here
Without a rime of reason left to try

Goodbye Maria, I love you
How long will you stay in my heart
I'll try every day
To get myself to say
Goodbye Maria, goodbye (3x)
