Lyrics

In the slums of dark El Paso There she lived like a back streetgirl Queen of the wildside, Mexican hero On a raid with her guy called Diego She was caught, he could fly away And now Maria, weeps like a willow But every night, beneath her window, you can hear Diego sing Don't cry for me, my Maria 'cause it will mend with time This lonely heart of mine I'll be waiting for you, my Maria Forever and a day So wipe your tears away A stricken look on those needy faces When the news spread from town to town Thousands were crying, cry for a hero The moments of burning passion She remembers the nights of love And now Maria, weeps like a willow But every night, beneath her window, you can hear Diego sing Don't cry for me, my Maria 'cause it will mend with time This lonely heart of mine I'll be waiting for you, my Maria Forever and a day So wipe your tears away I'll be waiting for you, my Maria Forever and a day So wipe your tears away
