'Maria'

Oh, how madly in love they fell In springtime, before they were wed. But fate soon dismantled all passion When green lights changed to bright red... And he said: 'I wish I had read the signs sooner, I wish I had been more aware, The sight of Maria with another Was heart-rending and so hard to bear. Her fingers were adorned with his diamonds And he kissed her soft golden hair. He wooed my Maria with love songs And he was handsome as she was fair! Friends say there will be a new Eden But 'first love' we shared was so dear. If their sudden affair passes with time Then I will be waiting here.' Oh Yes, he will be: Waiting for his lovely Maria, His beautiful dancing queen; And he will buy a ticket to Heaven When red lights turn back to green.
