I've traveled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places i happened to be
One little town i'll never forget
Is lourdes, the village of st. bernadette
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-i-ia
There, like a dream, this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as i whispered the prayer
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-i-ia
Now i am home, i'm happy to be
Telling of places i've traveled to see
One little town i'll never forget
Is lourdes, the village of st. bernadette
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-i-ia
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave ma-ri-a
