My Marie

My Marie

- Engebert Humperdinck

Marie

I can't 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, don't be sad

Or ask me how

But tomorrow, we're have

all the things we never had

But if I'm 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 I'm not back there with you

By the time the sun has gone

Forget me, my Marie

And move on

Marie

Ah, you've never had

a new dress you could wear

Oh Marie

You look so pretty

with a ribbon in your hair

For too long

You've gone without the life

that I once promised you

Right or wrong

But today I'll find a way to

make it all come true

But if I'm 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 I'm 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
