Mort Shuman - (Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame lyrics

[Verse 1] A very old friend came by today Because he was telling everyone in town About the love that he just found And Marie's the name of his latest flame [Verse 2] Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry [Verse 3] He talked and talked and I heard him say That she had the longest blackest hair The prettiest green eyes anywhere And Marie's the name of his latest flame [Verse 4] Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame
