Side by side, my face reflected in your eyes Light of the night, I let you be my guide Hope and mercy, you and I Pray for mercy, you and I Oh, Maria Oh, Maria Please don't, don't turn your back I feel something like a heartbreak and the old days So read my skin and the pressure, feel the tremors Understanding is all I ask Please have mercy, don't turn your back Oh, Maria Oh, Maria Please don't, don't turn your back Oh, Maria Oh, Maria Please don't, don't turn your back Oh, Maria Oh, Maria I wish that you could see mercy for you and me We all say stuff that hurts sometimes But it's not enough to break his heart of love Oh, Maria Oh, Maria Please don't, don't turn your back *
