Eyes Of Santa Lucia lyrics


I can remember them
Blue as the ocean
Whenever I drew nigh
Blue as a stormy sky
Ever so sisterly
I would advise her
Looking into her eyes
Doomed as a falling star
refrain:

L & C: My dear Lucia
Why can t you see me?
L: Santa Lucia, is what they ll call thee
L & C: Eyes once gazed lovingly
So veiled in purity
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia

All your sisters have wed
Just as expected
As the most beautiful
You ve been selected

L & C: That s when our father said
"Lucy must marry"
She said, "I d rather die"
And then she scared me

refrain

L: And like the waters (Carl echoes)
Of pure devotion (Carl echoes)
She d rather love God(Carl echoes)
With all emotion
Jesus, he is the Lord (Carl echoes)
Why can t you see it?
And so she plucked her eyes
Out in his spirit.
