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
