He was a stranger and she was so young Life couldn't be any sweeter One night of romance, she thought it was love She didn't know he would leave her Cold was the light of the morning When he sailed out to the sea He told her Santa Maria goodbye In the wind you can still hear her calling Oceans of tears from her eyes Santa Maria goodbye He told her Santa Maria goodbye And she promised she'd never forget him Dreams of the heart never die Santa Maria goodbye Day after day and forever more There at the harbor she's waiting Counting the ships as they sailed to the shore Breathlessly anticipating So many beautiful mem'ries So many nights all alone He told her Santa Maria goodbye In the wind you can still hear her calling Oceans of tears from her eyes Santa Maria goodbye He told her Santa Maria goodbye In the wind you can still hear her calling Oceans of tears from her eyes Santa Maria goodbye He told her Santa Maria goodbye And she promised she'd never forget him Dreams of the heart never die Santa Maria goodbye...
