The Day I Met Marie

the day i met marie

- cliff richard

imaging 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 tiptoing 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 the laughing eyes.

she'd toss her hair and tantalize.

she came to touch me then she's gone

just like a summer breeze.

(------ music ------)

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 the laughing eyes

she'd toss her hair and tantalize

she came to touch me then she's gone

just like a summer breeze

(------ music ------)
