Maria
1957 Broadway lyrics
TONY
Maria . . .
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
VOICES
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
TONY
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . . .
VOICES
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
Maria, Maria . . .
TONY
Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be.
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing—
Say it soft and it's almost like praying—
Maria . . .
I'll never stop saying
Maria!
(Maria x8)
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing—
Say it soft and it's almost like praying—
Maria . . .
I'll never stop saying
Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard—
Maria.
1961 film lyrics

Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly the name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be.
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing—
Say it soft and it's almost like praying—
Maria . . .
I'll never stop saying
Maria!
(Maria x8)
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing—
Say it soft and it's almost like praying—
Maria . . .
I'll never stop saying
Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard—
Maria.
