In the sunlight of your smile
   In the summer of our life
   In the magic of love
   Storms above scattered away
  
   Lovers dreaming in the night
   Reaching for paradise
   But as the dark shadows fade
   Love slips away
  
   On an empty stretch of beach
   In the pattern of the waves
   Drawing pictures with my hand
   In the sand, I see your face
  
   Skipping pebbles on the sea
   Wishing for paradise
   Sand castles crumble below
   The restless tides ebb and flow
  
   Listening to a shell
   Hoping for your voice
   Beautiful Maria of my soul
  
   Though we'll always be apart
   Locked forever in a dream
   If I ever love again
   Even then, nothing will change
  
   And the taste of you remains
   Clinging to paradise
   But as the distance from you grows
   All that my heart ever knows
   Hunger for your kiss
   Longing for your touch
   Beautiful Maria of my soul
  
   Filling all my nights
   Haunting all my days
   Beautiful Maria of my soul
