My sweet Maria,
Where are you now?
Does your hair still fall down your pretty face?
I have to leave,
I just couldn?t stay,
Is it somebody else take my place.
Love?s been no better than you were to me,
Love is a laugh that?s been out of my reach,
It?s hard to let go,
New Mexico .
I love to go back to New Mexico,
See the sunflowers bloom once again,
Just you and I,
Beneath the sky,
That?s as blue as you ride in the rain.
I long to come back and see you again,
With your beaten heart,
Next to mine.
I?ll never go,
New Mexico o o.
