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

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 

You're the song that the trees sing 
when the wind blows 
You're a flower, you're a river 
you're a rainbow 
Sometimes I'm crazy, but I guess you know 
I'm weak and I'm lazy and I've hurt you so 
I never listen to a word you say 
When you're in trouble 
I just 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
