My Antonia Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

He said Oh, my love. Oh, my Antonia 

You with the dark eyes and palest of skin 

Tonight I am going from Santa Maria 

Wait for me till I'm in your arms once again. 

She held me, she kissed me, begged me not to leave her 

To cross on 1he mountain my fortune to win 

But a letter now tells me she died of a fever 

I'll never see her in this world again. 

You are my sorrow, you are my splendor 

You are my shelter through storm and through strife 

You are the one I will always remember 

All off the days of my life.

I curse the ambition that took me far from her 

For a treasure not ever so fine or so fair 

As the flash of her smile or the touch of her fingers 

The fire in her heart and the smell of her hair. 

She left me a note that cried Do not weep for me 

Behold you are with me as sure as the stars 

That rise in the evening to shine down upon me 

Behold I am with you wherever you are. 

I can still hear him. he calls to me only 

What once was begotten shall come to no end 

But the road is so long and the nights are so lonely 

My soul just to hold him in this world again. 

You are my sorrow, you are my splendor 

You are my shelter through storm and through strife 

You are the one I will always remember 

All of the days of my life.

You with the dark eyes and palest of skin
