MAURY Words and Music by TerryCashman and Tommy West
I wonder if you've found it now
That song that you once heard?
Is your searchin' over?
Are you soaring like a bird
Who's free from all the sorrow?
I wish that you could tell me so
You'd ease the emptiness I feel
Because the world will never know you,
Maury.
CHORUS:
Goodbye, and have a nice trip
I'll see you in a while
Thank you for your sunshine songs
Thank you for your smile
Goodbye, and have a nice trip
I heard somebody say.
Sure will miss you sometimes
And by the way - I loved you.
But love is just a feeling
Sometimes I can't explain
You said it was a passing thing
You take and give back again;
And you felt more in a moment
Than others in a lifetime do
The world was almost beautiful
While you were passing through
We need you, Maury.
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Maury, play your song,
Oh, you played it oh so sweet
I could swear I see you there
Playing just for me
I do not know the reasons
I'll never know the whys
But when I think about you
I see the laughter in your eyes
And those you love won't let that change
A man would have to be blind
Not to see the loving kindness
There in all you left behind you, Maury.
REPEAT CHORUS
