Ely Joe Maria Lyrics

Maria Lyrics

Bringing in the New Year's Eve alone



The glitter of the party life turns my face to home.



Lovers and acquaintances all through the land



Celebrate a grain of time down miles and miles of sand







The Wheel of Fortune has stopped again



Tho' the winning number was lost in the wind



But I heard a gypsy swear it was stolen by someone



Who steers a lonesome chariot in circles around the sun.







Maria, I love you.



Maria, I miss you.







The clock strikes twelve and canons are fired



The echo is heard till a year from tonight.



The old man with his sickle just lay down and die



While I held the baby's hand who danced where he lie.







Maria, I love you.



Maria, I miss you.







(Repeat, Repeat, Repeat next year)
