"Ave Maria" lyrics

"Ave Maria"

She was lost in so many different ways
Out in the darkness with no guide
I know the cost of a losing hand
There for the grace of God go, I

I found Heaven on earth
You are my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
Ave Maria

I've been alone when I'm surrounded by friends
How could the silence be so loud?
But I still go home knowing that I've got you
There's only us when the lights go down

You are my Heaven on earth
You are my hunger, my thirst
I always hear this voice inside
Singing Ave Maria

Sometimes love can come and pass you by
While you're busy making plans
Suddenly hit you and then you realize
It's out of your hands, baby, you got to understand

You are my Heaven on earth
You are my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Ave Maria

This song is a re-write of Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria".
Beyoncé said that this track was one of the most personal on the album.
Beyoncé Knowles and Amanda Ghost, one of the co-writers of "Ave Maria", both walked down the aisle to Franz Schubert's song during their respective weddings.
During her I Am... Tour (2009-2010) Beyoncé Knowles performed this song wearing a white wedding dress. Her mother, Tina Knowles, made the dress so that Beyoncé could dance in it.
