Texty: Marty Robbins. Marty Robbins - All-Time Greatest Hits. Maria (If I Could).

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
