You looked like a princess on the night we met
With your hair piled up high, I will never forget
I'm drunk now baby but I've got to be
I never could tell you what you mean to me

But I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you, Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you, Marie

The song that the tree sings when the wind blows
You're a flower, a river, you're a rainbow
I am weak and lazy, well I guess you know
And I never listen to a word you say
And when you're in trouble I turn away

But I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you, Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you, Marie
