The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. Many years ago down beside the sea
All the love I know filled this heart o’ me
She was all the world to me
And all the heaven, too
In the days that used to be
When only skies were blue
CHORUS
Beautiful Annabell Lee
Left me alone by the sea
She was like a tender flower that blooms in May
But the angels came and took her away one day
Beautiful Annabell Lee gone for eternity
Now the robins sing to me
Oh how I wish they’d bring to me
My Beautiful Annabell Lee
2. Came a breeze one night
From the winter skies
And my rose of white
Closed her starry eyes
Every night I look for her
Along the lonely shore
But the night wind like the raven
Answers “never more”
