Lyrics

I didn't see it coming I flew out for just a week
To see the Golden Gate and some big ol' redwood trees
Head down to Ocean Beach for some sand and sun
I was just trying to cut loose and to have a little fun
But then I found someone...

Her name is Maryrose
And she's an angel without wings
And when she's around…
Well, I just love the way she sings
She's got the sweetest smile
And a heart that's made of gold
And maybe she's a little shy
But in the right place and time...

I started changing my plans every chance that I could take
To cuddle up with her or just to see her pretty face
The time we had was short and we were both aware
I guess that's why it caught me unprepared
When I found someone...

Her name is Maryrose
And she's an angel without wings
And when she's around…
Well, I just love the way she sings
She's got the sweetest smile
And a heart that's made of gold
Maybe we were a little shy
But in the right place and time...

I flew out at the end of the week
Now every day I think
About that mistake
And how I should have stayed

Out there with Maryrose
My angel without wings
Now that she's not around
I miss hearing her sing
I miss her gorgeous smile
And her heart of gold
In the end we were both too shy
But in a different place and time...
She could have been mine

Oh, Maryrose. Oh, Maryrose
I wish you were mine
