Words and music by eula parker (peak billboard position # 7 in 1959-60)
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
