| 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… |
