John Warren: Watching Maria dance lyrics

John Warren

Watching Maria dance

Cantina lights call her from the edge of town

Maria's young and full of dreams

She tells me that love is just a stone's throw away

So I follow her each night trying

To see what she means

Watching Maria dance

Shattering hearts like glass

Hurts me

'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone

And oh, when Maria sings

I hear an angel weep

'Cause she's just a girl

Lost in a world

That never will let Maria come home

Music and lights are caught inside Maria's eyes

A red satin dress hides her fears

She won't look at me

She pretends I don't exist

So I stand in the shadows ready to catch any tears

Watching Maria dance

Shattering hearts like glass

Hurts me

'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone

And oh, when Maria sings

I hear an angel weep

'Cause she's just a girl

Lost in a world

That never will let Maria come home

Each one of us is such a fool for love

Looking for dreams where dreams could never be

Oh, Maria

Watching Maria dance

Shattering hearts like glass

Hurts me

'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone

And oh, when Maria sings

I hear an angel weep

'Cause she's just a girl

Lost in a world

That never will let Maria come home
