Maria - Chris Cagle

I’m exhausted, trying to catch my breath the morning' after

I hold my coffee with shaking hands and my world in disarray

Lost by the softness and the 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 Maria your kisses knock me over

Make me drunk 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

Oh, Maria

Your kisses knock me over

Make me drunk 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 trying to catch my breath

Maria

Oh, maria
