Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Maria

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)

[Verse 2]

Maria

I just met a girl named Maria

And suddenly that name

Will never be the same to me

[Verse 3]

Maria

I've just kissed a girl named Maria

And suddenly I've found

How wonderful a sound can be

[Verse 4]

Maria

Say it loud, and there's music playing

Say it soft, and it's almost like praying

[Verse 5]

Maria

I'll never stop saying Maria

(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria)

(Maria)

[Verse 6]

Maria, Maria

Say it loud, and there's music playing

Say it soft, and it's almost like praying

[Verse 7]

Maria

I'll never stop saying Maria

The most beautiful sound I ever heard

Maria
