Opera lyrics

Oh, Maria Oh, Maria Though I call you from afar Will this message reach your heart? Oh, how I long to be with you Oh my hero, my beloved Shall we still be made to part? Your promises of perennial love Yet sing here in my heart I'm the darkness, you're the starlight Shining brightly from afar Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer To you, my evening star Must my final vows exchanged Be with him and not with you? Were you only here to quiet my fear Oh, speak! Guide me anew I am thankful, my beloved For your tenderness and grace I see in your eyes So gentle and wise All doubts and fears erased! Though the hours take no notice Of what fate might have in store Our love, come what may Will never age a day I'll wait forevermore!
