Boyzone - Arms Of Mary Lyrics






The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh hw I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
To know--she put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had
To show--she really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
To know--she put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take...

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

  8. D.... c....

    Ronan has a great voice! Love to listen to him.

  9. C.... G....

    No no no. I like Boyzone but they ruined this song!

    C.... G....

    Try smokie version

  10. D.... v....

    Loved this song since the first time i heard it 23 years ago ❤

  11. H.... C....

    Was bullied relentlessly at school for loving boyzone still do every week each member would be my fave love all the songs equally I'm now 35 and still regularly listen to the boys and every October I listen to them non stop on the 10th in memory of stevo who is still severely missed

    H.... C....

    Heather Camball I Got teaset because i loved ( still Do ) Bryan Adams but i did not give a flying fuck and when they could see that i did not care it was not funny and it stoped. I grew up with boyzone aswell. Always loved this song and Ronan doing a great job in this one...

  12. J.... B....

    This is truly awful.

  13. K.... D....

    love this

  14. �.... �....

    Красивые картинки!Приятная песня!

  15. B.... R....

    thank you

  16. M.... K....

    this songe just lovely boyzone

  17. J.... M....

    you just can't do this..holey Moley...oh boy

  18. L.... L....

    This is my childhood <3

  19. G.... ....

    i agree a classic song ruined by a bunch of pretty boys

    G.... ....

    GavinRussell59 and your a deluded prick who don’t know good music when you hear it

    G.... ....

    My, you're an insulting little child, aren't you? You might like this but it doesn't change the fact that aesthetically & technically an appallingly abysmal vocal performance. By the way, it's 'you're', not 'your', and 'doesn't' not 'don't'. I can see YOU'RE one of YOUR English teachers failures.

    G.... ....

    @Stevie Gee English teacher's/teachers' failures

    G.... ....

    @Fagin 84 I was using the plural, so technically ' teachers' ' (with the following apostrophe) is correct. It isn't really used anymore, though - and I've never used a following apostrophe - but I accept your correction! (Pedants rule!)

  20. J.... T....

    ironic that you're Mary too :D

  21. A.... ....

    None of my friends know this song, but i love it.

  22. S.... M....

    This is a guilty pleasure for me.  Boyzone were a big band for me when I was a teenager.  Nowadays I enjoy rock and metal but ya know I still have a soft spot for this group.

    I once walked past a tour poster and saw the four of them, and for a split second I thought, oh I wonder what Stephen is doing- ...and then I remembered.  And I had to walk away.  :'(

    So I enjoy Boyzone and I enjoy who they were.

    S.... M....

    Sakura Maiden you massive girls blouse!! 😂

  23. L.... ....

    I love this song

  24. M.... C....

    John B, are you deaf or just uncultured

  25. H.... B....

    the best song of boyzone

  26. S.... M....

    Beautiful.. takes me right back to my early teens...

    S.... M....

    Tell me about it turned 31 in March this year.....all the memories of the 90s are flooding in 😃

  27. W.... G....

    Anyone practically can enjoy this song but this is really for the people named Mary.

  28. M.... ....

  29. T.... C....

    i super miss this!!..thank you for posting!! :D

  30. p.... ....

    this song is great

    p.... ....

    It really is. Unfortunately, this is the worst version of it I've heard. Somehow they manage to suck all the meaning out of it. Check out the original by the Sutherland Brother and Quiver.

  31. j.... ....

    The key change near the end, before they go into the last reprise, reaches a hand underneath my heart and nearly tears it out. Beautiful.

  32. A.... P....

    it was said and done and what a sweet childhood memory for you

  33. v.... ....

    Still makes me cry even after all these years :)

  34. T.... W....
