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 kinda slow And there she was smiling It made me feel good, the day I met Marie With her laughing eyes She'd toss her hair and tantalise She came to touch me then she's 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'd toss her hair and tantalise She came to touch me then she'd gone Just like a summer breeze
