Sweet Marie lyrics

My sweet Marie you mean a lot to me

In my memory, oh I hold you dearly

Once in all my dreams, my plans, hopes and future schemes

There was sweet Marie

But my home is where my heart is

And my heart is not at home

You see whenever we are parted

Oh I feel so all alone

Twilight 's falling

The full moon it is calling 'sweet Marie'

What the sea tells only sea shells

Are whispering 'sweet Marie'

Into the darkness

There goes this message to you my Darling

Sweet Marie

Some lovers they are parted

They must end what they have started

All that's left is the broken hearted

I must depart my sweet Marie

Somewhere out in Arizona

Such a long way from California

Oh I felt so alone there

I was 2,000 miles away from home there

Tonight we gonna play Boston

And I still don't know what the hell is going on

Oh but I just wrote this song

And it keeps me thinking on

Sweet Marie, she means a lot to me

Oh this melody it keeps haunting me

In harmony, it's with me constantly

Sweet Marie

But my home is where my heart is

My heart it's not at home

You see now that we are parted

Oh I feel so all alone
