Sweet Maria won't you hold out your hand
And let me love you one more time
The wind is warm on the ocean sand
And I got somethin' on my mind
Since we met I've come to love you so
And now there's somethin' you need to know
I ain't never goin' back
No matter what they say or do
'Cause I'm so happy here with you
Watchin' the sun go down on Vera Cruz
Dear Maria I'm asking for your hand, I want you to be my wife
And all my old friends, they'll just have to understand, I'm startin' a new life
I'll say I found someone
And she's a daughter of the sun and the wind
And her love makes me feel like a man again
And I ain't never goin' back
No matter what they say or do
'Cause I'm so happy here with you
Watchin' the sun go down on Vera Cruz
I got the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky and the love in your eyes
I got the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky and the love in your eyes
Here in Vera Cruz
I got the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky and the love in your eyes x5
