by Leonard Bernstein

Lyrics
Maria

The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the words
In a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria

Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.

Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!

Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

Maria,
I'll never stop saying Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.

Maria.
