The Day, I Met Marie

Image a still summer's day
When nothing is moving, least of all me
I lay on my back in the hay
The warm sun was soothing
It made me feel good, the day I met Marie

The sound of her whisper hello
Came tiptoeing softly into my head
I opened my eyes kinda slow
And there she was smiling
It made me feel good, the day I met Marie

With the laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze

I remember her kiss so soft on my brow
And the way that she said
"Baby, go to sleep now
Baby, go to sleep now"

I woke with the chill in the air
The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
I reached out but she was not there
She'd gone where she came from
But I still feel good to think I've known Marie

With the laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze
