Maria

(sings)
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying

Maria,
I'll never stop saying Maria!

The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
