(Soft percussion, gentle guitar strums, atmospheric pads)
(Hmm, yeah)
(Oh, Maria)
In the quiet of the morning, when the world begins to gleam
There's a whisper in my spirit, like a half-forgotten dream
And that dream, it has a melody, a song I can't deny
It's the sound of your name, Maria, beneath the waking sky
I feel the rhythm shifting, a pulse beneath my skin
Every time you turn to look at me, that’s where my joys begin
I’m tracing all the edges of the love we’ve come to know
Like the way the river follows where the gentle currents flow
Oh, Maria, my Maria, you're the sunshine in my day
You're the star that guides me homeward, chasing shadows far away
With every beat my heart is singing, a rhythm pure and true
Maria, oh Maria, all my love belongs to you
Yes, all my love belongs to you
I remember how we met then, a moment caught in time
Like a painting taking color, a perfect, sweet sublime
And since the day you entered, the gray has turned to gold
A story written perfectly, a love that won’t grow old
You carry such a grace, a light that’s soft and deep
You are the promise that I make, the one I mean to keep
We’re walking through the garden of the life we’ve come to build
With every single wish of ours so beautifully fulfilled
Oh, Maria, my Maria, you're the sunshine in my day
You're the star that guides me homeward, chasing shadows far away
With every beat my heart is singing, a rhythm pure and true
Maria, oh Maria, all my love belongs to you
Time moves a little slower when you’re standing by my side
There’s nowhere left for lonely thoughts or heavy hearts to hide
I’m anchored in the way you smile, the way you speak my name
Without you, love, the universe would never be the same
(Soft vocal harmonies layering in)
It’s a rhythm, it’s a passion, it’s a fire that we hold
More precious than the diamonds, more valuable than gold
Oh, Maria, my Maria, you're the sunshine in my day
You're the star that guides me homeward, chasing shadows far away
With every beat my heart is singing, a rhythm pure and true
Maria, oh Maria, all my love belongs to you
(Yeah, all my love)
It’s you, Maria
Always you, beneath the sky
Just you and I
(Fade out with lush, swaying instrumentation)
