Lyrics
- The sweetest word I’ve ever heard
Is the name of Mary
No other lad has ever had
A sweetheart like my Mary
And with a heart full of yearning
More and more I am learning
Chorus
There will never be another Mary
The only one in all the world for me, Gee!
In my heart I’ll always carry
A picture of her smiling face
Who could ever take her place?
There was only one other made like her up above
That was my little mother whom she reminds me of
And there’ll never be another Mary
The only girl I’ll ever love
- No need to try, I’m sure that I
Can’t forget my Mary
I miss her so! No one can know
How I regret my Mary
Tho someone else may caress her
All I say is, God bless her
