Verse 1
Oh, Mary Lou, when you appear,
The world feels brighter, the skies are clear.
Each step you take, my heart beats fast,
I pray this moment will always last.
Chorus
Oh, Mary Lou, can’t you just see,
You are the only one for me?
Oh, Mary Lou, don’t tell me no,
I’ll love you more than you could know.
Verse 2
The moonlight shines upon your face,
My darling, nothing could take your place.
And when you smile, the whole world sings,
You make me feel like I’ve grown wings.
Chorus
Oh, Mary Lou, can’t you just see,
You are the only one for me?
Oh, Mary Lou, don’t turn away,
I need your love each night and day.

Ohhh, Mary Lou… (Mary Lou…)
Sha-la-la-la… (Sha-la-la-la…)

Verse 3
If time should stop, if stars should fall,
I’d still be waiting to hear your call.
And though the years may come and go,
My love for you will only grow.

Chorus (big, final)
Oh, Mary Lou, my sweetest dream,
Together we will be a team.
Oh, Mary Lou, don’t ever go,
’Cause I’ll love you forever so!

I’ll always be true…
