Mary Anne Lyrics

Mary Anne with your golden hair

You're the brightest star in this town so fair

Every day I pass that bookstore door

But I'm just a boy who can't read much more

I see you there behind the shelf

Lost in stories all by yourself

But what could I say to make you see

This simple heart that beats in me?

Oh Mary Anne you're the book I can't begin

With pages full of dreams I'm not within

I'm just a country boy with dusty shoes

But Mary Anne I'm so lost in you

In the quiet of the night I dream so clear

Of a world where I'd have no fear

To walk right in and ask your name

But words they falter and I'm to blame

You're the poetry I'll never know

In a language that I can't show

But still I watch and still I pray

That someday I'll find a way to say—

Oh Mary Anne you're the book I can't begin

With pages full of dreams I'm not within

I'm just a country boy with dusty shoes

But Mary Anne I'm so lost in you

The jukebox plays a lonely tune

Underneath the summer moon

And I wonder if you'd ever see

The love that's hiding here in me

Oh Mary Anne you're the book I can't begin

With pages full of dreams I'm not within

I'm just a country boy with dusty shoes

But Mary Anne I'm so lost in you
