Bringing in the New Year's Eve alone
|
The glitter of the party life turns my face to home.
|
Lovers and acquaintances all through the land
|
Celebrate a grain of time down miles and miles of sand
|
|
The Wheel of Fortune has stopped again
|
Tho' the winning number was lost in the wind
|
But I heard a gypsy swear it was stolen by someone
|
Who steers a lonesome chariot in circles around the sun.
|
|
Maria, I love you.
|
Maria, I miss you.
|
|
The clock strikes twelve and canons are fired
|
The echo is heard till a year from tonight.
|
The old man with his sickle just lay down and die
|
While I held the baby's hand who danced where he lie.
|
|
Maria, I love you.
|
Maria, I miss you.
|
|
(Repeat, Repeat, Repeat next year)
