Watching Maria Dance

Cantina lights call her from the edge of town
Maria's young and full of dreams
She tells me that love is just a stone's throw away
So I follow her each night
Trying to see what she means

Watching Maria dance
Shattering hearts like glass
Hurts me
'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone
And, oh, when Maria sings
I hear an angel weep
'Cause she's just a girl
Lost in a world
That never will let Maria come home

Music and lights are caught inside Maria's eyes
A red satin dress hides her fears
She won't look at me
She pretends I don't exist
So I stand in the shadows, ready to catch any tears

Watching Maria dance
Shattering hearts like glass
Hurts me
'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone
And, oh, when Maria sings
I hear an angel weep
'Cause she's just a girl
Lost in a world
That never will let Maria come home

Each one of us is such a fool for love
Looking for dreams where dreams could never be
Oh, Maria

Watching Maria dance
Shattering hearts like glass
Hurts me
'Cause nobody sees one little sister alone
And, oh, when Maria sings
I hear an angel weep
'Cause she's just a girl
Lost in a world
That never will let Maria come home

Watching Maria dance
