"Mary" lyrics

Mary

Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me
To lay down with at night

The colors of spring
Are vivid and green
Since I looked
So deep in your eyes
All of a sudden
I'm filled with emotion
With feelings
I used to deny

Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me
To lay down with at night

You've given me purpose
And reason to worship
Someone
Much stronger than me
Gentle and tender
And always remember
The little things
A man really needs

Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me
To lay down with at night

As time moves along
I know we'll belong
To each other
Till they lay me down
And when even then
I'll take your memory with me
To hold me
When you're not around

Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me
To lay down with at night
