Make of our hands, one hand,
Make of our hearts, one heart.
Make of our vows, one last vow;
Only death will part us now.
Make of our lives, one life.
Day after day, one life.
Now it begins, Now we start;
One Hand, One Heart.
Even death won't part us now.
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in
a single world:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria.
And suddenly that name will never be the same to me.
Maria! I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
and suddenly I've found how wonderful a
sound can be.
Maria! Say it loud and there's music
playing. Say it soft and it's almost
like praying.
Maria, I'll never stop saying Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria!
Maria
I feel pretty, Oh so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright,
And I pity Any girl who isn't me tonight.
I feel charming,
Oh so charming,
It's alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face, Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile, Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing, Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!Girls
Have you met my good friend Maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her,
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock.
She thinks she's in love.
She thinks she's in Spain.
She isn't in love,
She's merely insane.
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease,
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas.Keep away from her,
Send for Chino!
This is not the Maria we know!
Modest and pure, Polite and refined,
Wellbread and mature,
And out of her mind!
Miss America! Speech! Speech!
Maria
I feel pretty, Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me.
I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty, Miss America can just resign!
Girls
See the pretty girl in that mirror there: What mirror where?
Who can that attractive girl be? Which? What? Where? Whom?
Such a pretty face, Such a pretty dress, Whommm? Whommm?
Such a pretty smile, Such a pretty me! Whommm?
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
ANITA
Puerto Rico
My heart's devotion
Let it sink back in the ocean
Always the hurricanes blowing
Always the population growing
And the money owing
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in!

Maria:
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see, forever in my eyes in my
words and in everything I do.Nothing else but you, ever.
Tony: And there's nothing for me but Maria, every sight that I see
is Maria.
Maria: Tony, Tony.
Tony: Always you, every thought I'll ever know, everywhere I go
you'll be, you and me...
Maria: All the world is only you and me...
Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight,
I saw you and the world went away.
Tonight, tonight, there's only you tonight,
what you are, what you do, what you say.
Tony: Today, all day I had the feeling
a miracle would happen.
I know now I was right.
Beide: For here you are,
and what was just a world
is a star tonight!
Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light,
with suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight, the world is wild and bright,
going mad, shooting sparks into space.
Today the world was just an adress,
a place for me to live in,
no betterthan all right.
But here vou are,
and what was just a world is a star tonight!
Good night, good night,
sleep well and when you dream,
dream of me, tonight!
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to care,
Someday! Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere.
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're half way there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, Someday, Somewhere!
