In the sunlight of your smile



In the summer of our life



In the magic of love



Storms above scattered away







Lovers dreaming in the night



Reaching for Paradise



But as the dark shadows fade



Love slips away







On an empty stretch of beach 



In the pattern of the waves



Drawing pictures with my hand



In the sand, I see your face







Skipping pebbles on the sea



Wishing for Paradise



Sand castles crumble below



The restless tides ebb and flow



Listening to a shell



Hoping for your voice



Beautiful Maria of my soul







Though we'll always be apart



Locked forever in a dream



If I ever love again



Even then, nothing will change







And the taste of you remains



Clinging to Paradise



But as the distance from you grows



All that my heart ever knows



Hunger for your kiss



Longing for your touch











Filling all my nights



Haunting all my days



Beautiful Maria of my soul
