Maria Lyrics by Chris Cagle

Maria

I'm exhausted
Tryin' to catch my breath the morning after
Pour my coffee
With shakin' hands and my world in disarray
Lost in the softness and strength that's in her hands
I see her face and I can barely stand
But oh, the sweet redemption every time she mentions
That she wants me, oh, that she needs me, oh

[Chorus:]
Maria
Your kisses knock me over
Make me drunk and then leave me sober
They let me know that I'm a man
Maria
Your touch, it almost kills me
Then it turns around and heals me
I get lost and found again
In the arms of a woman that a mother gave the name Maria
Tender power
The gift she gives me gets me through the day
Midnight hour
I reach across the bed where she lay
Then I look up and see the moon dance on her skin
My heart starts poundin' once again
It's a sweet intoxication, a powerful frustration
How I want her, oh how I need her

[Repeat Chorus]

Maria
Your kisses knock me over
Make me drunk and then leave me sober
They let me know that I'm a man
Maria
Your touch, it almost kills me
Then it turns around and heals me
I get lost and found again
In the arms of a woman
In the arms of a woman that a mother
In the arms of a woman that a mother gave the name Maria
I'm exhausted
I'm still tryin' to catch my breath.
Maria
Oh Maria
