Dear Marie, I would love to meet your family, oh, oh

I would love to meet your mum

Dear Marie, I've been waiting for this moment all my life

I've been waiting for this night

The silver clouds are a-rollin'

And the moon wakes up to chase the sun

And the turquoise sea goes flowin' on

And, Marie, I would love to meet your mum

Oh, dear Marie, do you see yourself as clearly as I do?

Take a walk inside my shoes

Oh, dear Marie, you done gave me love and stripped me of my cool

You done thrown me in the pool

And the nightingales are a-singin'

And the whole entire world is on the run

And the river Nile goes flowin' on

And, Marie, I would love to meet your mum

Oh, love me, love me

Oh, Marie, yeah

To meet your mum

Oh, the silver clouds are a-rollin'

And the moon wakes up to chase the sun

And the turquoise sea goes flowin' on

And, Marie, I would love to meet your mum
