Maria - George Strait

There’s a soft rain tapping on your window

There’s a cool breeze blowing off the bay

And a warm flame dancing with our shadows

To music playing far away

I never meant to stay an hour

I thought that I was passing through

Another town along the highway

I never meant to fall for you

But I can’t speak for you, Maria

I only know the way I feel

When I sleep with you, Maria

There’s nothing' left for dreams to steal

On a Bible by the mirror

The only treasures that we hold

The only secrets that we’re keeping

A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

When the sunlight brings the morning

I can’t tell you what I’ll do

But I’ve a mind to take you with me

And I’ve a heart to stay with you

When I sleep with you, Maria

There’s nothing left for dreams to steal
