Lyrics

SWEET MARIE
©1996 by David T. Green & Bill Carson

Looking back, it's not that long ago,
I held your hand as I begged you not to go.
The wind is warm as it blows off the bay,
I close my eyes and I dream you stayed.

(chorus) My sweet Marie, I miss you tonight.
The moon and stars are shining so bright.
Your green eyes haunt my memory.
I just assumed you'd always be my sweet Marie.

I think a lot about what used to be,
When times were good and it was you and me.
I'm all alone as the waves roll in,
I hear your voice calling in the wind.

(chorus) My sweet Marie, I miss you tonight.
The moon and stars are shining so bright.
Your green eyes haunt my memory.
I just assumed you'd always be my sweet Marie.

I can't forget that look on your face,
That night you told me that I'd been replaced.
While on my knees, I wrote your name in the sand,
But the tide came in and now you're gone again.

(repeat chorus)
