THE DAY I MET MARIE
(Hank B. Marvin)

Imaging a still summer’s day
When nothin’ 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 kind a slow
And there she was smiling
It made me feel good
The day I met Marie

With the laughing eyes
She tossed her hair and tantalizes
She came, she touched 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 the laughing eyes
She tossed her hair and tantalizes
She came, she touched me then she’s gone
Just like a summer breeze
