Lyrics The Shrine of St. Cecelia - Vaughn Monroe

Our home is a shambles
All I've treasured is gone
The town seemed deserted
Everyone so forlorn
A storm came from up above
But somehow it missed
The shrine of Saint Cecilia

The bells in the chapel
Never ring any more
The clock in the steeple
Can't tell time as before
But up on a hillside
Stands a place heaven blessed
The shrine of Saint Cecilia

Each day at even tide
When I seek haven
From my daily care
You'll find me by her side
It seems so peaceful there

I kneel in my solitude
And silently pray
That heaven will protect you dear
And there'll come a day
The storm will be over
And that we'll meet again
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

The storm will be over
And that we'll meet again
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia...
