Marie
Shep Fields & His Orchestra Lyrics
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?"
