Maria (If I Could) Lyrics by Marty Robbins
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Maria, you're the only one
Maria, you're the only one
That ever understood the way I feel
To me that was ever real
But keep a light in your window burnin'
And yet you bid me go because inside your heart
You know I cannot stay
Little girl, I'm comin' home some day

To turn back the hands of time
Maria, if I only had the power
I'd spread my wings around you
'Cause all you ever wanted was to love me
And, little girl, I'd make you mine
So keep a light in your window burnin'
In your plain and honest way

Oh, Maria, you gave me the precious gift of love
Little girl, I'm comin' back some day
That I have ever known
For when I opened up my eyes, you were gone
And then you kissed me gently
That ever came my way
Keep a light in your window burnin'
So keep a light in your window burnin'
And now I'm gonna lose the only good thing
Little girl, I'm comin' back some dayLittle girl, I'm comin' back some day
Maria, you're the only one   Maria, you're the only one   That ever understood the way I feel   To me that was ever real   But keep a light in your window burnin'   And yet you bid me go because inside your heart   You know I cannot stay   Little girl, I'm comin' home some day      To turn back the hands of time   Maria, if I only had the power   I'd spread my wings around you   'Cause all you ever wanted was to love me   And, little girl, I'd make you mine   So keep a light in your window burnin'   In your plain and honest way      Oh, Maria, you gave me the precious gift of love   Little girl, I'm comin' back some day   That I have ever known   For when I opened up my eyes, you were gone   And then you kissed me gently   That ever came my way   Keep a light in your window burnin'   So keep a light in your window burnin'   And now I'm gonna lose the only good thing   Little girl, I'm comin' back some dayLittle girl, I'm comin' back some day
