about

“If I Never See Mary Again” is the second track on side 1 off from Larry Santos' 1976 follow-up, “You Are Everything I need”.

This song, “If I Never See Mary Again”, written by himself and his songwriter friend Dan Yessian is all about his wife, Mary Stuart-Santos, who would later co-write with Sam Jones and Todd Park Mohr on the song, “Bittersweet” on his 1996 live album, “Viva Arriva”.

lyrics

In the morning when everything's right
And I'm warmed by the sunshine and light
I don't care if I never see Mary again
It don't matter to me there and then
But when the day is done and I'm riding low
And I'm wondering where Mary will go
I don't care if I never see daylight again
I want Mary and all that she's been

And I wonder if she's wanting me
Oh, I wonder if she wakes up feeling good like I do
It's easy to live in the day
But the nighttime brings Mary and it won't go away

Chorus:
And I've found that the longer she's gone
And (Now) I'm dreading the daylight and dawn
I'm afraid that I'll never see Mary again
But it won't matter
Cause my life will end if I never see Mary again

Repeat Chorus
