Lyrics
Watching Maria Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cantina lights call her from the edge of town
Maria's young and full of dreams
She tells me that love is just a stone's throw away
So I follow her each night
Trying to see what she means
Watching Maria dance
Shattering hearts like glass
Hurts me
'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone
And, oh, when Maria sings
I hear an angel weep
'Cause she's just a girl
Lost in a world
That never will let Maria come home
Music and lights are caught inside Maria's eyes
A red satin dress hides her fears
She won't look at me
She pretends I don't exist
So I stand in the shadows, ready to catch any tears
Watching Maria dance
Shattering hearts like glass
Hurts me
'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone
And, oh, when Maria sings
I hear an angel weep
'Cause she's just a girl
Lost in a world
That never will let Maria come home
Each one of us is such a fool for love
Looking for dreams where dreams could never be
Oh, Maria
Watching Maria dance
Shattering hearts like glass
Hurts me
'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone
And, oh, when Maria sings
I hear an angel weep
'Cause she's just a girl
Lost in a world
That never will let Maria come home
Watching Maria dance
Watching Maria dance
Watching Maria dance
