( 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, 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 Playin',
Say It Soft And It's Almost Like Prayin',
Maria!
I'll Never Stop Sayin' Maria!
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 Playin',
Say It Soft And It's Almost Like Prayin',
Maria!
I'll Never Stop Sayin' Maria!
( The Most Beautiful Sound I Ever Heard )
Maria!
( Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . . )
