Verse 3:

My old great aunt Margarita
(she’d been blind thirty years)
would tell us of young Margarita,
of her man and her tears.
She would say, “He was tall,
that’s his picture on the wall.”
My old great aunt Margarita,
she’d been blind thirty years,

verse 4:

and she would ask, “Is he smiling?”
I would stare at the frame,
but the sun was there shining
through her window again.
Where the sun always shone
he had faded and gone.
When she would ask, “Is he smiling?”
I would say, “He’s the same”




Chorus:
           Em           C
It’s a new world, Margarita,
           D               G
that we’ll build when it’s through.
           Em	       C
In our new world, Margarita,
         A7	     D
we’ll be wed, me and you.
