A Girl Called Mary (Christmas love song)

No likes yet ♦

from the ABC set Lyrics

1st Verse:

An angel of the lord appeared to me;
he told me “Joseph, it’s your destiny
to marry Mary, for she’ll have a son
who will be the whole wide worlds salvation.

At first I was afraid of what may be;
it was a big responsibility
but then I looked deep into Mary’s eyes
and then I knew that I just had to try.

Chorus:

Cause I’m in love with a girl called Mary,
there’s nothing that I couldn’t do for her.
Even when times get difficult or scary,
Mary will always be my guiding star.

Yes, I’m in love with a girl called Mary,
there’s nothing that I couldn’t do for her.
Even when times get difficult or scary,
Mary will always be my guiding star.

2nd Verse:

We’re going to a place called Bethlehem
and I’m uncertain what the future holds.
We’ve got no money, gold or sparkling gems,
just faith in god and each other to hold.

Will we find a place there to shelter us?
Will I be a good father to my son?
I just know I must do my best because
beautiful Mary helps me carry on.

Hi, well-wisher, very nice words (lyrics). I think it deserves a nice melody to go with it. Any ideas?

Thanks, Pia. I think that the romance/relationship between Joseph and Mary hasn't really been examined
by writers much but it is a love story of a kind.

Thanks, Sue. I'm glad you liked it.

Unfortunately, I'm not a musician so I can't write music and, try as I might, I can't think of an already existing tune that will fit the words
but people are welcome to use any tune they like.
