She visits the place that the tour groups must have She's shocked to find somebody there With a sun-beaten face and a silver-gray head He knelt on the floor unaware
He said 'I'm sorry madam' as he lend her his hand 'I know I must be a strange sight But I've been coming here, for some thirty odd years Ever since me sweet lady died
But I sure am glad you listen Oh I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission Ever since that day.
Oh that summer we met, only fools could forget Just how perfect a woman could be By the time she was late we had both set a date In a place where she would marry me
But a gringo brought shame to her proud family name And her father forbade it to be So in less than a week we found her be the creek And the parents blamed it all on me
But I sure am glad you listened And I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission Ever since that day
Well her name was Marie And the day she meet me Was the worst day of both our lives If it wasn't for me, I would truly believe My sweetheart could still be alive
She said 'Darling, believe. Don't you recognize me? Though you waited here all of this time They had slipped my away to my family in Spain We can get on with our lives We still have plenty of time
Cause I sure am glad I listened Oh, I sure am glad I came I made looking for you my mission Ever since that day'
Oh sure am glad you listened Oh I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission Ever since that day May God bless you, have a good day.'Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
