sweet maria

there's a place in california, where the beach runs out of sand, the sun comes up every morning, no matter where it's been, she stands at the window, singin' songs for people she will never meet, busy city, lonely corners, full of fallen stars, god help all the angels, guardin' broken hearts, she wears it like an armor, it's the only dream she never got to have, sweet maria, keep on dreaming, no matter how long the night, don't you know i still believe, it's gonna be alright, alright, there's a street in san francisco, that never got a name, sometimes it seems in passing, you maybe feel that way, your smiles are like a movie, that you never stayed around to see the end, sweet maria, keep on dreaming, no matter how long the night, don't you know i still believe, it's gonna be alright, alright, the other day i saw a picture, some place that i had never been, i wrote my thoughts down in a letter, i know i'm never gonna send, sweet maria, keep on dreaming, no matter how long the night, don't you know i still believe, gonna be alright, alright, sweet maria, keep on dreaming, no matter how long the night, don't you know i still believe, it's gonna be alright, alright
