Bernstein-Sondheim Maria . . The most beautiful sound I ever heard: Maria. Maria. Maria. Maria... All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word 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?
