My Sweet Maria

My Sweet Maria - written by Robb Moss, SOCAN

Not a word of a lie, I saw sparkles in your eye
As clear at the desert moon
It was a cool day they say in the Bay of Campeche
You’d never know it when you walked through
I knew one thing for sure when you looked my way
You saw me looking your way too
Oh busted girl but I don’t care
I’m sitting here talking to you

There was one table left at La Parroquia Café
We were destined to be there that day
All the stories we told as our lives would unfold
Oh I loved every word that you’d say to me
And when the sun went down on Vera Cruz town
There was no wrong reason to stay
Time for one more margarita my sweet Maria
Then I’ll be on my way

It was empty inside and nowhere to hide
Being alone and blue
But with fire in my heart I knew where to start
To retrace my steps back to you
I knew one thing for sure when you walked through that door
You saw me smiling too
Oh busted girl but that’s ok
I’m sitting here talking to you
