Maria Lyrics - The Sound Of Music (music From The Nbc Television Event) - The Sound Of Music

She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear. 

She waltzes on her way to Mass and whistles on the stair. 

And underneath her wimple she has curlers in her hair. 

I even heard her singing in the abbey. 

She's always late for chapel, but her penitance is real. 

She's always late for everything, except for every meal. 

I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel. 

Maria's not an asset to the abbey. 

I'd like to say a word in her behalf. 

Maria makes me... laugh. 

How do you solve a problem like Maria? 

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? 

How do you find a word that means Maria? 

A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the-wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her. 

Many a thing she ought to understand. 

But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say 

How do you keep a wave upon the sand? 

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? 

How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? 

When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focused and bemused 

And I never know exactly where I am. 

Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather. 

She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb! 

She'd out pester any pest, drive a honet from its nest. 

She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl. 

She is gentle, she is wild. 

She's a riddle, she's a child. 

She's a headache! She's an angel! She's a girl!
