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
