About Ave Maria

London based songwriter Amanda Ghost (James Blunt's "You're Beautiful") co-wrote this song in which Beyoncé re-imagines the classic aria in a new musical setting. Ghost told the Daily Telegraph November 8, 2008 the original inspiration for this track: "We were talking about how much we loved the Franz Schubert Ave Maria. We had both recently got married, and it turned out we had both come up the aisle to that song. So I said wouldn't it be great to try and rewrite it. .

Ave Maria Lyrics

[00:13.91] She was lost in so many different ways
[00:19.85] Out in the darkness with no guide
[00:22.66]
[00:26.98] I know the cost of a losin' hand
[00:33.53] There, but for the grace of God go, I
[00:40.49] I found Heaven on Earth
[00:43.95] You are my last, my first
[00:47.66] And then I hear this voice inside
[00:50.93]
[00:55.11] Ave Maria
[01:04.07]
[01:15.78] I've been alone when I'm surrounded by friends
[01:21.77] How could the silence be so loud?
[01:29.29] But I still go home knowing that I've got you
[01:35.51] There's only us when the lights go down
[01:42.30] You are my Heaven on Earth
[01:45.62] You are my hunger, my thirst
[01:49.19] I always hear this voice inside
[01:56.16] Singing Ave Maria
[02:04.97]
[02:18.12] Sometimes, love can come and pass you by
[02:25.23] While you're busy making plans
[02:31.85] Suddenly hit you and then you realize
[02:37.00] It's out of your hands, baby, you got to understand
[02:44.21] You are my Heaven on Earth
[02:47.54] You are my last, my first
[02:50.90] And then I hear this voice inside
[02:58.44] Ave Maria
[03:07.54]
[03:12.32] Ave Maria
[03:20.87]
[03:26.17] Ave Maria
[03:33.11]
