[Verse 1]
Hello, my old friend, it's been a long time
Since I last saw you cry
It's been a long ride, but know that you never lost
The wonder in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Take all the time in the world
I'll always be right here
If you need someone, my dear

[Chorus]
Maria Clara, baby, don't you cry
Take it slow, love, you have all the time
I know the world can be hard sometimes
You know that I'm here
And everything will be alright

[Verse 2]
Remember back then when you kept asking when
All thе tears would end
You werе always hurting, sometimes you were smiling
I was with you, my friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, you have come so far
Don't let it slip away
There's always another day
[Chorus]
Maria Clara, baby, don't you cry
Take it slow, love, you have all the time
I know the world can be hard sometimes
You know that I'm here
Maria Clara, baby, don't you cry
Take it slow, love, you have all the time
I know the world can be hard sometimes
You know that I'm here
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright, oh-oh

[Outro]
Maria Clara
