Sweet Mary

[Intro]
Sweet Mary

[Verse 1]
You with your curlers in your golden hair
You light up the room you walk in
He took you sailing on Lake Michigan
Out on a joyride for ten good years

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how you shimmy, you shimmy and smile (Ooh-ooh)
Everybody misses having you around (Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)
He was your treasure, you were his treasure (Ooh-ooh)
Now you ride back to Heaven (Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Sweet Mary, sweet Mary (Sweet Mary)
Paradise is calling your name
Sweet Mary (Sweet Mary), sweet Mary
When I last saw you, the sun was upon your face

[Verse 2]
We played on TV, The Late Night Show
You dressed me up in Valentino
You were so curious about the music
The men I loved, all my muses

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt your lovе (I felt your love) shining through (Shining through) (Ooh, ooh)
You werе kind to me, too blue (Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)
You made me feel like I was your own (Ooh, ooh)
Your heart is made of gold, your heart is made of gold (Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Sweet Mary (Sweet Mary), sweet Mary
Paradise is calling your name (Paradise is calling your name)
Sweet Mary (Sweet Mary), sweet Mary
When I last saw you, the sun was upon your face

[Outro]
Sweet Mary, sweet Mary
Sweet Mary, sweet Mary
(Sun was upon your face)
Sweet Mary, sweet Mary
Sweet Mary, sweet Mary
