Ah 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 Saint Bernadette Ave, ave, ave Maria Ave, ave, ave Maria 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 Maria Ave, ave, ave Maria 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 Saint Bernadette Ave, ave, ave Maria Ave, ave, ave Maria Ave, ave, ave Maria Ave, ave, ave Maria
