When the day is dawn ing
on a Tex as Sun day morn ing, how I long to be there
with Ma rie who’s wait ing for me there.
Ev ’ry lone ly ci ty
where I hang my hat
ain’t as half as pret ty
as (Esus4)where my ba by’s at.
Is this the way to A mar il lo?
Ev ’ry night I’ve been hug ging my pil low, dream ing dreams of A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E7)rie who waits for me.
Show me the way to A ma ril lo.
I’ve been weep ing like a wil low, cry ing ov er A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E)rie who waits for me.
Sha la la la la la la la.
Sha la la la la la la la.
Sha la la la la la la la.
And Ma rie who waits for me.
There’s a church bell ring ing,
hear the song of joy that it’s ing for the sweet Mar i a,
and the guy who’s com ing to see her.
Just be yond the high way,
there’s an o pen plain,
and it keeps me go ing
through (Esus4)the wind and by’s rain.
