Dorsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marie you'll soon be waking
To find you heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recall
The moon in all its splendor
Your kiss so very tender
The words, will you surrender
To me Marie?
The lyrics to Dorsey Tommy's song Marie speak about a person named Marie who is waking up to find her heart aching with tears in her eyes as she recalls the memories of her love. The dawn is breaking, signifying a new day without the love she once had. The mention of the moon in all its splendor and the memories of a tender kiss point to a passionate and romantic relationship that has now ended, leaving Marie in a state of despair. The lyrics end with a question, ‘will you surrender to me Marie?’ which could mean that the singer is still in love with Marie and is hoping for a second chance.
The song's lyrics are simple but effective in expressing the emotions of a brokenhearted person. The use of nostalgia in the song makes it more relatable and strikes a chord with listeners who have gone through a similar experience. The combination of the music and lyrics creates a melancholic atmosphere, which intensifies the emotions expressed in the song.

Marie, the dawn is breaking
Dear Marie, the sun is rising
Marie, you'll soon be waking
Marie, you'll arise from slumber
To find your heart is aching
To discover your heart is filled with pain
And tears will fall as you recall
With memories triggering your tears
The moon in all its splendor
With the moon's majestic light
Your kiss so very tender
Your affectionate kiss still lingers
The words, will you surrender
I humbly ask, will you give in
To me Marie?
To me, dear Marie?

I trust that, my Dad was as well.
Virgo, "craftsmanship" to details. Most worthy.
That he did. Sinatra grasp the subject and amazed every vocal artist whom ever listened, with his technique.
Sinatra's Folks Managed my husband (we, the husband and I, are no longer under contract, but he remains a superb Vocal Artist) Tony Oppesadino and the late one and only Jilly.
Miss the Music and so many dear friends - was truly wonderful, Sinatra too. ❤

My father danced to this song with my mother back in the 1940s. I will dance it with my wife María this October when she celebrates her 50th wedding anniversary. At our Golden Weddings.
