The Day I Met Marie

Imagine a still summer's day
When nothing is moving
Least of all me
I lay on my back in the hay
The warm sun was soothing
It made me feel good
The day I met Marie
The sound of her whispered hello
Came tiptoeing softly into my head
I opened my eyes kind of slow
There she was smiling
It made me feel good
The day I met Marie
With her laughing eyes
She tossed her hair and tantalized
She came, she touched me, then she'd gone
Just like a summer breeze
I remember her kiss
So soft on my brow
And the way that she said
Baby go to sleep now
Baby go to sleep now
I woke with a chill in the air
The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
I reached out but she was not there
She'd gone where she came from
But I still feel good
To think I've known Marie
With her laughing eyes
She tossed her hair and tantalized
She came, she touched me, then she'd gone
Just like a summer breeze
