Lyrics:
Oh, Maria...
Oh, Maria...
Though I call you from afar,
Will this message reach your heart?
Oh, how I long to be with you...
Oh my hero, my beloved,
Shall we still be made to part?
Your promises of perennial love
Yet sing here in my heart...
I'm the darkness, you're the starlight
Shining brightly from afar
Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer
To you, my evening star...
Must my final vows exchanged
Be with him and not with you?
Were you only here to quiet my fear...
Oh, speak! guide me anew.
I am thankful, my beloved,
for your tenderness and grace.
I see in your eyes,
so gentle and wise,
all doubts and fears erased!
though the hours take no notice
of what fate might have in store,
our love, come what may
will never age a day.
I'll wait forevermore!
