Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me In my memory I hold you very 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 Whenever we are parted I feel so all alone With twilight falling The moon is calling sweet Marie What the sea tells only sea shells Are whispering sweet Marie Into the darkness goes this message sweet Marie Some lovers are sometimes 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 I felt so alone there I was two thousand miles away from home there Tonight we're going to play Boston I still don't know what the hell is going on Oh but I wrote this song To keep me thinking on about my sweet Marie Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me This melody it keeps haunting me My sweet Marie In harmony, it's will me constantly, sweet Marie But my home is where my heart is My heart it's not at home Now that we are parted I feel so all alone
