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!
