And I missed you
I barely hit you
But you could've gone to Heaven today
And when you fell down
On that gravel
Your father came rushin' to your aid
And he said,
“Oh, Maria
Oh, Maria
Are you okay? Is it just a scrape?
Can you move both of your arms and legs?”
He said, “Run along, son
No damage has been done
We're goin' home now where she can be safe”
And so I left them
But she just stood there
She was so afraid to move
I should've went back
Begged for forgiveness
Oh, but I was so afraid to move
And I said,
“Oh, Maria
Oh, Maria
Oh, Maria
I am so sorry, Maria”
And I missed you
I barely hit you
But you could've gone to Heaven today
