Mariane you did what you could,
you'll always do what you can,
you're a hard headed woman,
after all,
You say there's always better days
There'll always be better ways,

I'm being real about it,
I think I'm real about it
The lessons you taught me
make me wanna carry on.
You know we can't all be kept down.
all alone in a world that is so cold,

You're my ideal

Mariane you changed me when
you came and took my hand,
You're in touch with everyone,
after all
You say there's always better days
There'll always be better ways
