My Maria
don't you know I've come a long, long way
I been longin' to see her when she's around she takes my blues
away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies
Maria, Maria I love you
My Maria
There were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are gray
She treats me so right lady take me away
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
Three Dog Night relied heavily
on this song for their hit "Shambala"
