Maria Under the Moon
Steven A. Clark Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, Maria, what′s on your mind?
So good to see you, may I spend some time with you
Oh, under the moon?
Maybe you and I can leave this town
Go to the ocean, watch the Sun go down and dance
Oh, under the moon

'Cause if I had it my way

You′d never be lonely
A feeling I can't explain
When you come around

Hey, Maria, what's on your mind?
So good to see you, old friend of mine, again
Oh, under the moon
Yeah, oh
′Cause if I had it my way
You′d never be lonely
Yeah
A feeling I can't explain
When you come around

′Cause if I had it my way
You'd never be lonely
This feeling I can′t explain
When you come around
Oh, yeah
And if I had it my way
You'd never be lonely
Oh, oh, now

A feeling I can′t explain
When you come around
