How do you solve Songtext

von The Sound Of Music

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 flibbertijibbet!
A will-o'the-wisp!
A clown!

Many a thing you know youd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay?
And listen to what 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?

When I'm with her Im confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
Shes as flighty as a feather
Shes a darling
Shes a demon
Shes a lamb

Shell out-pester any pest
Drive a hornet from his nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle
She is wild
She's a riddle
She's a child
She's a headache!
She's an angel
She's a girl...

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 flibbertijibbet, a will-o'the-wisp, a clown

Many a thing you know youd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do make her stay?
And listen to all you say?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
