Maria

[Verse 1]
Some days the world moves way too fast
And nothing good is built to last
But I found something that held on
A steady light, a sweet old song
Back at Parmatown Mall, one day
Maria smiled and stole my heart away

[Chorus]
You hold us together with your love
When the storms roll in, you rise above
Your strong heart is my peace, my home
With you, my love, I'm never alone
Keep your head up high, keep smiling, dear
'Cause every good thing I have is here

[Verse 2]
Three sweet children grew in your care
Your gentle voice was always there
Now a little boy, just three years old
Runs to his grandma's arms to hold
Strong of mind and soft of touch
I never knew I'd love this much

[Chorus]
You hold us together with your love
When the storms roll in, you rise above
Your strong heart is my peace, my home
With you, my love, I'm never alone
Keep your head up high, keep smiling, dear
'Cause every good thing I have is here

[Bridge]
Thirty-two years, and if I could choose
I'd marry you again, I'd never lose
Through every road, through dark and light
You helped me make it through this life

[Verse 3]
So on this ordinary day
There's just one thing I want to say
You're beautiful in every way
So caring, loving, come what may
Maria, when my strength runs thin
You show me where our home begins

[Chorus]
You hold us together with your love
When the storms roll in, you rise above
Your strong heart is my peace, my home
With you, my love, I'm never alone
Keep your head up high, keep smiling, dear
'Cause everything I love is here

[Outro]
Keep your head up high, Maria
I'll love you all my life
