Maria

[Verse 1]
The bass was low, the lights turned blue
A Friday night, nothing new
I wasn't looking for a sign
Just one more song, just one more night
Then in that N City sports lounge
You moved and turned my world around

[Chorus]
You're the rhythm to my heartbeat
The groove that keeps me on my feet
Just me and you, no matter what
We rise, we fall, we never stop
With God on our side, we can accomplish anything
Happy birthday, baby, dance with me

[Verse 2]
From that dance floor to Vegas bells
My ride or die, you knew me well
From the streets to the foot of the cross
Maria, you found me when I was lost
Two blended families became one
Then God gave us our baby son

[Chorus]
You're the rhythm to my heartbeat
The groove that keeps me on my feet
Just me and you, no matter what
We rise, we fall, we never stop
With God on our side, we can accomplish anything
Happy birthday, baby, dance with me

[Bridge]
Eighteen years, thirteen with rings
Five little ones, our greatest things
If I had it all to choose once more
I'd pick you on that same dance floor

[Verse 3]
Now fifty-one, and still you shine
A caring heart, a brilliant mind
Selfless hands that hold us all
Still smooth enough to make me fall
My rib, my soul, my best friend true
Maria Elena, I'm loving you

[Chorus]
You're the rhythm to my heartbeat
The groove that keeps me on my feet
Just me and you, a brand new start
God's grace on every beat of your heart
With God on our side, we can accomplish anything
Happy birthday, Maria, dance with me

[Outro]
God's blessings and long life to you
Just me and you, Mardi, just me and you
