West Side Story

Maria
Music: Leonard Bernstein/Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim

"Maria . .
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria. Maria. Maria. Maria...
All the beautiful sounds of the world 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?"
