My sweet Marie you mean a lot to me
In my memory, oh I hold you 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
You see whenever we are parted
Oh I feel so all alone
Twilight 's falling
The full moon it is calling 'sweet Marie'
What the sea tells only sea shells
Are whispering 'sweet Marie'
Into the darkness
There goes this message to you my Darling
Sweet Marie
Some lovers they are 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
Oh I felt so alone there
I was 2,000 miles away from home there
Tonight we gonna play Boston
And I still don't know what the hell is going on
Oh but I just wrote this song
And it keeps me thinking on
Sweet Marie, she means a lot to me
Oh this melody it keeps haunting me
In harmony, it's with me constantly
Sweet Marie
But my home is where my heart is
My heart it's not at home
You see now that we are parted
Oh I feel so all alone
