Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marie, you'll soon be waking (girl of my dreams, I want you)
To find our heart's are aching (have a little faith in me, la-la-la-la)
And tears will fall as you recall (tears will fall again)
The moon in all its splendor (on a night like this, we go bettin' in the park)
Your kiss, so very tender (all the way my kiss, darlin')
The words, "Will you surrender
To me, Marie?"

Marie (oh, Marie), the dawn is breaking
Oh, my beloved Marie, the day is beginning
Marie, you'll soon be waking
Marie, I know you will awaken soon
To find our heart's are aching
And realize that our hearts are filled with pain
And tears will fall as you recall
And tears will flow as you remember
The moon in all its splendor
The beautiful moon shining brightly
Your kiss, so very tender
Your gentle, sweet kiss
The words, "Will you surrender
The question, "Will you give in
To me, Marie?"
To me, my dear Marie?"
(Livin' in a great big way, mama)
(Living life to the fullest, my love)
