Richard Rodgers — Processional and Maria The Wedding

[ORGAN, ORCHESTRA AND NUN'S:] How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Maria? A flibbertigibbet A will-o'-the-wisp A clown Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her Many a thing she ought to understand But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say? How do you keep a wave upon the sand? Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
