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.
