And There You Were
Jimmy Ruffin Lyrics


Maria hey hey eh eh hey Maria
Maria don't you hear me calling Maria
Maria girl you know you were the only one
Hey hey eh eh hey Maria
Maria don't you miss me a little
Maria after all you were the only one
Come on back to me Maria
Maria come on back to me girl
Hey hey hey eh hey Maria
Maria it's been long so long oh
Maria since you've been gone
Eh eh eh eh eh Maria
Maria don't you need me just a little
Maria 'cause honest girl you were the only one
Come on back to me Maria
Oh come on back to me girl

Oh Maria oh baby I need you mmm mmm
Maria why why d'you keep a-running away
Oh baby you keep a-running away
Oh baby yeah Maria
I need you honey
Oh Maria you sweet little sunflower
Oh hear my plea for sympathy
I just-a want you here with me Maria
Ooh yeah yeah
Empty on the lonely nights
That's my life without you girl
I'm so lonely I'm so blue
Without you darling my life is through
Come on back

You keep running away
Come back come back
Ooh baby I need you gotta have you
ooh baby ooh baby
Maria ooh baby
Gotta have ya aw
Come back come back
Maria ooh baby
I need ya
Gotta have ya gotta have ya
Maria come back come back
Ooh Baby Oh
Come back come back
Maria I gotta have ya
I gotta have ya

Lyrics

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe

… The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumblin' down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin' nowhere
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me

… I'm searching, though I don't succeed
But someone look, there's a growing need
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now, what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind

… I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday, I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
And I'll be searching everywhere
I know I gotta find a way
I'll be looking

When I posted this 9 years ago, I never imagined it would have 10 million views. I see just about every comment that gets posted on this video. The years have been filled with happy nostalgia, musical appreciation, and the depths of pain we humans experience separately, yet together. I hope this coming decade will bring us all happiness, fulfillment, and a more connected human spirit. Thanks for being here, and here's to you and yours. Cheers!

Colin Barnette Thank YOU for posting one of my all-time of favorite songs that continues to resonate in 2020 every bit as much as it did in 1966. Thank you as well, Colin, for your eloquence.
