The Day I Met Marie lyrics

Imagine a still summer's day

When nothing is moving,

Least of all me.

I lay on my back in the hay,

The warm sun was soothing.

It made me feel good...

The day I met Marie.

The sound of her whisper "hello"

Came tiptoeing softly into my head.

I opened my eyes kinda slow,

And there she was smiling.

It made me feel good...

The day I met Marie.

With laughing eyes,

She'd toss her hair and tantalize.

She came to touch me then she's gone,

Just like a summer breeze.

I remember her kiss,

So soft on my brow,

And the way that she said,

"Baby go to sleep now,

Baby go to sleep now."

I woke with the chill in the air,

The warm sun no longer hung in the sky.

I reached out but she was not there.

She'd gone where she came from,

But I still feel good,

To think I've known Marie.

With laughing eyes,

She'd toss her hair and tantalize.

She came to touch me then she's gone,

Just like a summer breeze.
