In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love

Storms above scattered away

Lovers dreaming in the night

Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away


On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves

Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand, I see your face


Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for paradise
Sand castles crumble below

The restless tides ebb and flow

Listening to a shell

Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul


Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again

Even then, nothing will change

And the taste of you remains

Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows

Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul


Filling all my nights
Haunting all my days

Beautiful Maria of my soul
