West Side Story - Maria (movie) lyrics

rate me

TONY (spoken)

Maria...

Maria!

(sung)

The most beautiful sond I ever heard

OFFSCREEN VOICES

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...

TONY

All the most beautiful sounds of the world in a single word

OFFSTAGE VOICES

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...

Maria, Maria...

TONY

Maria!

I've just met a girl named Maria

And suddenly that name

Will never be the same

To me

Maria!

I've just kissed a girl named Maria

And suddenly I've found

How wonderful a sound

Can be!

Maria!

Say it loud and there's music playing

Say it soft and it's almost like praying

Maria...

I'll never stop saying

Maria

(TONY sings obbligato for the first half of the chorus before resuming lyrics)

Maria!

Say it loud and there's music playing

Say it soft and it's almost like praying

Maria...

I'll never stop saying

Maria

The most beautiful sond I ever heard

Maria...
