Ringing in the New Year's Eve alone
The glitter of the party lights
turns my face to home
Lovers and acquaintances all through the land
Celebrate a reign of time down miles and miles of sand
A wheel of fortune has stopped again
Though the winning number was lost in the wind
But I heard a gypsy swear
It was stolen by someone
Who steers a lonesome chariot
In circles around the sun Maria,
I love you
Maria,
I miss you The clock strikes twelve,
cannons are fired
The echo is heard
till a year from tonight
The old man with his sickle just lay down
And I,
while
I held the baby's hand Could dance where he lied
Maria,
I love you Maria,
I miss you
Maria,
I love you Maria,
I miss you
Maria,
I love you Maria,
I miss you
Maria,
I love you
Maria
