Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me

In my memory I hold you very dearly

Once in all my dreams, my plans, hopes and future schemes

There was sweet Marie



But my home is where my heart is

And my heart is not at home

Whenever we are parted

I feel so all alone



With twilight falling

The moon is calling sweet Marie

What the sea tells only sea shells

Are whispering sweet Marie



Into the darkness goes this message sweet Marie

Some lovers are sometimes parted

They must end what they have started

All that's left is the broken hearted, I must depart my sweet Marie



Somewhere out in Arizona

Such a long way from California

I felt so alone there

I was two thousand miles away from home there



Tonight we're going to play Boston

I still don't know what the hell is going on

Oh but I wrote this song

To keep me thinking on about my sweet Marie



Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me

This melody it keeps haunting me

My sweet Marie

In harmony, it's will me constantly, sweet Marie



But my home is where my heart is

My heart it's not at home

Now that we are parted

I feel so all alone
