Ther'es a soft rain tappin' on your window There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows To music playin' 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
Chorus: 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 keepin' A watch, a chain, a cross of gold
Repeat chorus
When the sunlight brings the mornin' I can't tell you what I'll do But I've a mind to take you with me And I've got heart to stay with you
Repeat chorus
When I sleep with you, maria There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
