(Verse 1) It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden lived whom you may know, By the name of Annabel Lee. And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. (Chorus) By the sea, by the sea, Where the cold wind calls to me. Though the angels weep above, They can’t touch this kind of love— By the sea, by the sea, My Annabel waits for me. (Verse 2) We were children, wild and free, In that kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love, My Annabel Lee and me. Till a wind blew out of a cloud by night, Chilling my sweet Annabel Lee. (Chorus) By the sea, by the sea, Where the moon still speaks to me. Though her heart lies cold below, Still her voice is soft and low— By the sea, by the sea, My Annabel calls to me. (Bridge) Neither angels up in heaven, Nor demons under sea, Can ever tear my soul away From my sweet Annabel Lee. (Verse 3) For the moonlight brings her dreams to me, And the stars her shining eyes, So I lie down by her side once more, Beneath those endless skies. (Final Chorus) By the sea, by the sea, Where her spirit’s wild and free. Though the waves may take my breath, Love will rise beyond the death— By the sea, by the sea, My Annabel waits for me.
