Maria Songtext
von Rodgers & Hammerstein
Maria Songtext
When I′m with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She′s as flighty as a feather
She's a darling, she's a demon, she′s a lamb
She′ll outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle, she is wild
She's a riddle, she′s a child
She's a headache
She′s an angel
She's a girl
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertigibbet
A will-o′-the-wisp
A clown
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She′s as flighty as a feather
She's a darling, she's a demon, she′s a lamb
She′ll outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle, she is wild
She's a riddle, she′s a child
She's a headache
She′s an angel
She's a girl
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertigibbet
A will-o′-the-wisp
A clown
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
