My Marie
- Engebert Humperdinck
Marie
I cant bear to see
the children without bread
Oh Marie
They deserve a decent roof
above their heads
Trust me now
And when I leave for town,
my darling, dont be sad
Or ask me how
But tomorrow, were have
all the things we never had
But if Im not back there with you
By the time the sun goes down
Take the train, change your name
And get the children out of town
Yes, if Im not back there with you
By the time the sun has gone
Forget me, my Marie
And move on
Marie
Ah, youve never had
a new dress you could wear
Oh Marie
You look so pretty
with a ribbon in your hair
For too long
Youve gone without the life
that I once promised you
Right or wrong
But today Ill find a way to
make it all come true
But if Im not back there with you
By the time the sun goes down
Take the train, change your name
And get the children out of town
Yes, if Im not back there with you
By the time the sun has gone
Forget me, my Marie
And move on
Forget me, my Marie
And move on
