various artists - processional & maria (the wedding) lyrics

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 meets maria?
a flibbertigibbet, a will+o’+the+wisp, a clown

many a thing we know you 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?
