It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought That to love and be loved by me.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
She was a child and I was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me.
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
Sweet my angel, why you going from me? Sweet my angel, my sweet Annabel Lee
Sweet my angel, why you going from me? Sweet my angel, my sweet Annabel Lee
But our love it was stronger by far than the love And neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea, In this kingdom by the sea
In this kingdom by the sea Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee And killing my Annabel Lee.
Sweet my angel, why you going from me? Sweet my angel, my sweet Annabel Lee
Sweet my angel, why you going from me? Sweet my angel, my sweet Annabel Lee
