Mariette by Josefine Landelius Lyrics

Verse 1
There is this lady I know
She grew up south of Stockholm
Here in this town we live in

Had plans to travel the world
Some place where dreams could be heard
America was waiting

Chorus
She never left, she stayed here
She bought a house, got kids and married
She left her dreams and for that I'm thankful
I owe her life, Mariette

Verse 2
Remember when I was young
Dancing Queens oh how we sang
I will forever treasure

You are the lady I know
The one I hold so close
No one could ever measure
Chorus
You never left, you stayed here
You bought a house, got kids and married
You left your dreams and for that I'm thankful
I owe you life, Mariette

Bridge
Oh marie, Oh marie, Oh marie, Mariette
Oh marie, Oh marie, Oh marie, Mariette
Oh marie, Oh marie, Oh marie, Mariette
Oh marie, Oh marie, Oh marie, Mariette
