Lyrics:

There's a gleam in your eyes, Marie
And the meaning is plain to see
But you'll find romance is a game of chance
That is not all it seems to be.

Marie, the dawn is breaking,
Marie, you'll soon be waking,
To find your heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recell

The moon in all it's splendor
The kiss so very tender
The words, "Will you surrender
To me Marie?"
