TONY (spoken)
Maria…
Maria!
(sung)
The most beautiful sond I ever heard
OFFSCREEN VOICES
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
TONY
All the most beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
OFFSTAGE VOICES
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
TONY
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me
Maria!
I’ve just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I’ve found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there’s music playing
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying
Maria…
I’ll never stop saying
Maria
(TONY sings obbligato for the first half of the chorus before resuming lyrics)
Maria!
Say it loud and there’s music playing
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying
Maria…
I’ll never stop saying
Maria
The most beautiful sond I ever heard
Maria…
