Maria (west Side Story) Lyrics - Gene Pitney

The most beautiful sound I ever heard 

All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word 

Maria 

I just met a girl named Maria 

And suddenly that name 

Will never be the same to me 

Maria 

I just kissed a girl named Maria 

And suddenly I found 

How wonderful a sound can be 

Maria 

Say it loud and there's music playing 

Say it soft and it's almost like praying 

Maria 

I'll never stop saying 

Maria 

Maria, Maria... 

Maria 

Say it loud and there's music playing 

Say it soft and it's almost like praying 

Maria 

I'll never stop saying 

Maria 

The most beautiful sound I ever heard 

Maria
