  • I love the tone that's in your laugh
    Gasping for an extra breath
    Waiting for the time to pass
    I believe in days ahead
    Don't spend another night alone
    Cross and wishing you were dead

    Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
    You hold the best you can
    And Mary, after all the pain is gone
    I'm always gonna live to be your man

    I've had it easy now you see
    When I'm down you're always there
    Standing by to comfort me
    Someday we'll go round the world
    I'll make the journey so sublime
    I know you're not a travelin' girl

    Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
    You hold the best you can
    And Mary, after all the pain is gone
    I'm always gonna live to be your man

    Cause I'd give everything I have
    Forget all the things that bring me joy
    If you could have one day
    Pure and simple happiness
    Until that moment comes
    I'll be here where I've always been
    I'm gonna be your friend
    Until the day I die

    Mary, shouln't let 'em make you mad
    You hold the best you can
    And Mary, after all the pain is gone
    I'm always gonna live to be your man Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER LOPEZ

  • Kay from Costa Mesa, CaI definitely hear the early Elton John influence as well. Lyrically enticing.
  • Dc from Hilo, HiThis song sounds similar to the early 70's Elton John sound. Great tune...
