Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
- Everybody wants someone
To love them some time
Everybody keeps longing
For sweet bells to chime
Love is something that varies
While you’re waiting your chance
So, I’ll tell you of Mary’s
Peculiar romance
Chorus
People called her lonely Mary
Dreaming dreams that can’t come true
For that empty part in her loving heart
There was none who seemed to do
Then a sweetheart came to Mary
While the moonbeams did their dance
And the boy brought joy to lonely Mary
In a Midnight Romance
- For each girlie who’s pining
There’s one lonesome boy
When love does its entwining
Their hearts beat with joy
Just forget about sorrow
Think of Mary’s romance
Who knows! maybe tomorrow
You may get your chance
