Intro:
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, and how I wish was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn t gone when I d learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin for the one and only
That s when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn t gone when I d learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
