Los Lobos - Beautiful Maria of My Soul lyrics

In the sunlight of your smile In the summer of our life In the magic of love Storms above scattered away Lovers dreaming in the night Reaching for Paradise But as the dark shadows fade Love slips away On an empty stretch of beach In the pattern of the waves Drawing pictures with my hand In the sand, I see your face Skipping pebbles on the sea Wishing for Paradise Sand castles crumble below The restless tides ebb and flow Listening to a shell Hoping for your voice Beautiful Maria of my soul Though we'll always be apart Locked forever in a dream If I ever love again Even then, nothing will change And the taste of you remains Clinging to Paradise But as the distance from you grows All that my heart ever knows Hunger for your kiss Longing for your touch Beautiful Maria of my soul Filling all my nights Haunting all my days
