She was lost in so many different ways 
Out in the darkness with no guide 
I know the cost of a losing hand 
Never for the grace of God oh I

I found heaven on earth 
You were 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 
Saying Ave Maria 

Sometimes love can come and pass you by 
While your 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

You are my heaven on earth
You are my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
