Secret Life of Bees movie - Mary lyrics
rate me
It was a fine day in the fifth grade<br>
when mary may let bobby walk her home from school<br>
he had her books in hand<br>
and he was listening to every word she said<br>
like it was the gospel of the prophecies<br>
and he loved the way her hair fell across her dress<br>
went home singing who wrote the book of love<br>
and try a little tenderness<br>
<br>
the next day ont he playground<br>
bobby sat mary down ont he swingset behind the sandbox<br>
and she said, bobby i just wanna play,<br>
so what is it you have to say?<br>
he said, mary, marry me.<br>
we could live out by the sea<br>
like the do on the movie screen.<br>
oh, marry me, mary may,<br>
before you go back to play<br>
<br>
it was graduation day<br>
they were waiting on a plane to take mary away<br>
said, theres nothing left for me here but you<br>
bobby, i hope you can find yourself through<br>
theres so much that i wish to know<br>
and i have to do this on my own<br>
and i hope you can understand<br>
bobby, write me when you can<br>
<br>
he said, take my highschool ring<br>
so time to time you can think of me<br>
and there's just one more thing before you leave<br>
<br>
he said, mary, marry me<br>
we could live out by the sea<br>
oh, like they do on the movie screens<br>
oh, marry me, mary may,<br>
before you are fly away<br>
<br>
theres so much time has past since that day<br>
and mary stopped writing years ago<br>
and bobby never took his music on the road<br>
guess he never really gave up hope<br>
though mary shes got everything she thought she wanted<br>
got a phd, she is an independent business woman<br>
climbing up the corporate ladder<br>
though it really dont seem to matter,<br>
she is lonely beyond belief<br>
so one day she went home<br>
looking for the only love she ever known<br>
<br>
she found him once again<br>
playing circuit at the holiday inn<br>
still singing the song about the one he lost long ago<br>
just goes to show you never know<br>
<br>
she took his hand in hers<br>
not everything she had planned and rehearsed<br>
she said, bobby, marry me<br>
we could live in a apartment building with the window hue<br>
we could take in movies on the weekend<br>
or plan our vacation<br>
take a honeymoon by the sea<br>
oh bobby, wont you just marry me?<br>
wont you just marry me?<br>
oh please, marry me<br>
<br>
it was a fine day in the fifth grade<br>
mary may let bobby walk her home from school<br>
<br>
