“Maria” is the second act in Marvin Gaye’s posthumous album entitled, “Romantically Your’s”. In the song, Gaye pours out his heart and soul telling of his recent enthrallment with a woman named Maria.
[Verse]
The most beautiful sound I've ever heard
Maria, oh, Maria
All of the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
Maria, I love you, Maria
Maria
Maria
I've just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be
Maria
I've just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be
[Chorus] x2
Maria
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria
I'll never stop saying
Maria
Maria, beautiful, wonderful
Maria, sweet Maria
Maria
Maria
Maria was written by Stephen Sondheim & Leonard Bernstein.
