CLIFF RICHARD - THE DAY I MET MARIE
(H.B. Marvin)
Columbia DB 8245

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 the laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
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 the 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 the laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze
