The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood

And turned them into feel good

Oh how I wish I were lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when

I'd learned all she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely

Still looking for the one and only

That's when I wish I were lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when

I'd learned all she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take
