Nicks, Stevie - Annabel Lee Lyrics






It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden lived
Whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee

This maiden, she lived
With no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me

She was a child and I was a child
In this kingdom by the sea
We loved with a love
That was more than a love
I and my Annabel Lee

With a love that the winged
Angels of heaven
They coveted her and me

And the moon never beams
Without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines
But I see the bright eyes
I lie down by the side

The angels, not half
So happy in heaven
Went envying her and me
That was the reason as all men know
In this kingdom by the sea

That the wind came out
Of the cloud that night
Killing my, my Annabel Lee

And the moon never beams
Without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines
But I see the bright eyes
I lie down by the side

But our love was stronger
By far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Many far wiser than we

Neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

And the moon never beams
Without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines
But I see the bright eyes
I lie down by the side

I lie down by the side of my darling
My life, my life and my bride
I lie down by the side

I lie down by the side, my darling
My life, my life and my bride
I lie down by the side
I lie down by the side
I lie down by the side

I lie down by the side of my darling
My life, my life and my bride
I lie down

I lie down by the side of my darling
My life, my life
I lie down by the side of my darling
My life, my life and my bride
I lie down

I lie down
I lie down by the side

Nicks, Stevie Annabel Lee Comments
  1. F.... L....

    This is the most beautiful song I ever heard. I don't know why it didn't get more acclaim when it was released. Timeless and I never tire of it. Great song to do outdoor yoga sun salutations to on a breezy, warm, sunny day.

  2. J.... G....

    I love this video...it's a combination poetic and musical masterpiece. Poe's creation, for sure, but what Stevie Nicks does here with Annabel Lee warms the heart like no other love song ever written....Stevie's voice sells the story, gives it a strong sense of reality. I love this video.

    J.... G....

    I am with you there,Janett,there is nothing I don't love about what I just heard,and read.

  3. m.... ....

    No! The wrong treatment for these words. Edgar would not approve.

    m.... ....

    I don't know. Others could butcher this poem . but Stevie has such an amazing voice. And why would he not love him poem being respected and not slottered by an armature. Stevie is the best female vocalists and respects art. She is the one to sing this poem.

  4. G.... M....

    Two unique, talented, beautiful souls! Love ya Stevie!...and thank you for taking one of my favorite poems and presenting it in a way that made me see, hear, and feel it anew. Peace.

    G.... M....

    i think that this poem was amazing, and grabbed your attention

    G.... M....

    Amiah Joseph and @dylan

    G.... M....

    This some heat🔥❗️

    G.... M....

    Great way to present such a Great poem.

    G.... M....

    I agree

  5. J.... G....

    Stevie does wonders to Poe's poem, brings music to a love story, a story of love transcending into a love beyond the grave. Poe gave and Stevie Nicks now gives us all a measure of hope...her singing brightens up the sadness of Poe's Annabel Lee.

  6. M.... ....

    my favorite by edgar allen poe and my favorite musician! this is awesome!

  7. P.... H....

    WORKING WITH STEVIE WAS NOT ONLY A PLEASURE, BUT A DREAM COME TRUE. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU !!!

    P.... H....

  8. M.... S....

    Stevie should play Leia on Episode 9

  9. L.... C....

    One of my favs by Poe and Nicks. This is about Poe's 13 year old wife, who was also his cousin.

  10. T.... W....

    Best version of AnnaBelle Lee on You tube!

  11. M.... S....

    So yeah....I was actually looking for a metal band version.....this is seriously cool and great.

  12. B.... M....

    Chastain Park, ATL, Ga. August, 15, 2011. It was beautiful that night and I got to dance up the sole and sing this song and it was so much fun. My son came with me . Special night.✨🧚🏻‍♂️🦆

  13. E.... J....

    Oh my lord 😍

  14. B.... D....

    Wow I didn't know 56 people could be that stupid I love this song so much

    B.... D....

    It's a question of differing taste, not intelligence

  15. G.... ....

    Great poem...

  16. T.... ....

    I'm embarrassed to say that I had no idea that this was an Edgar Allen Poe Poem. I love both too

    T.... ....

    Yeah, I recently found out too 😂

  17. M.... A....

    I love it🌛🌕🌜🎶

  18. M.... L....

    she wrote this song when she was 16 but didn't make a track until 1998. Then she found this track years later and wala..we have it. I am watching as I write this the conversation with Stevie Nicks promoting in your dreams. She explains all of this and much more.

    M.... L....

    Melis Lewis
    Edgar Allan Poe kinda wrote this like 100 years prior.

  19. M.... ....

    my favorite poem and favorite artist in one. This is incredible

  20. D.... E....

    THIS IS AMAZING <3 <3 <3 <3

  21. M.... R....

    This is a haunting beautiful song sung as only Stevie Nicks can.........

  22. P.... H....

    LIE DOWN BY THE SIDE OF MY LIFE,LIE DOWN BESIDE MY WIFE...IN MEMORY OF SHERYL LIEGH MCCRARY AND JOSEPH MCCRARY.

  23. B.... A....

    The only poem I absolutely love!!

  24. R.... L....

    Annabelle Lee is one of the Supremes in American Horror Story Coven! Jessica Lange's character as a younger Fiona Goode murders Anaabelle Lee, the reigning Supreme.

    R.... L....

    That was Annaleigh Leighton. Close though!

    R.... L....

    Go farther back. Classical literature.

  25. D.... ....

    My favorite Edgar Allan Poe Poem and my favorite Female Singer. Magical!

  26. M.... M....

    This song brings me back to my sophomore year of college. I took an art class that I thought I would never care about, where I met someone who would become a great friend (it took a while to get there, but still...part of the thrill that was my sophomore year I guess!). Our teacher played this song during a unit on ekphrasis and it made me think of wanting to get closer to him. I graduated in May and have only just listened to the song for the first time since probably my junior year. I can't stop thinking of him, or my school. I have such wonderful memories from there, some just by listening to this song (and note that I even remembered a useless art term!). It's amazing how a piece of music can bring back such emotions.

    I know nobody here probably cares but thanks for listening anyway xD

    M.... M....

    Morgan M music (especially by Stevie) make me nostalgic as well, sometimes even sad that I can't relive them. I relate to your comment!

    M.... M....

    oh it is real

    M.... M....

    well...they should care ...I think in my opinion

    M.... M....

    awwwwwww poor babbbyy

  27. P.... H....

    greater is he that is in you than he who is in the world. jesus Christ. thanks to everyone.

  28. C.... A....

    Luv this by Stevie Nicks <3

    You dissenters are fools. Her rendition is great and it turned on new generations to the great EAP.

  31. J.... p....

    She so amazingly put the right music for the lyrics...others have made versions of this poem, but this didn't get the response it should have.

  32. e.... g....

    Beautiful song

  33. Q.... ....

    i don't like this version at all

    Q.... ....

    +Cindy Bartley Are you the comment police? Is there a limit I don't know about?

    Q.... ....

    +Cindy Bartley I hope I don't get in trouble for commenting too many times on this song.

    Q.... ....

    +Cindy Bartley I still don't like this song.

    Q.... ....

    Jenifer L. What's wrong with it?

    Q.... ....

    People are entitled to their own opinion is Jennifer is clearly wrong LOL

  34. S.... O....

    beautiful

  35. N.... ....

    it's funny because my old lady was going to name our baby annabelle Lee and she was memorizing the poem... all the happy parts to the poem so she could recite it to our baby and then we lost it. now the sad parts are all she knows. all she recited. all she remembers.

    N.... ....

    So sad...so sorry.

  36. J.... ....

    I do not like the way she put music on it.. to me that style doesn't go along with the poem AT ALL.

    J.... ....

    I agree. I think something more along Beauty and Beast or Leather & Lace. I love Stevie but some of her later music with no Lindsay Buckingham or Jimmy Iovine to keep her from going too many directions at once just sounds...superficial. The albums they produced were raw and they made it safe for her to go to those dark places that her best songs go.

    J.... ....

    +YouwannaKillyourMommyDon'tU I agree. The style of the song sounds like it would be better suited to a song about empowerment, while the poem itself is about a man mourning the death of the woman he loves.

    J.... ....

    +Jenifer L. or what about that album she had that Cheryl Crow produced where it sounds like Cheryl Crow album and not a Stevie Nicks album

    J.... ....

    @Crimson7588​ OMG! Yes!! I hate Sheryl Crow and that whole BFF period they went through (letting her be in Fleetwood Mac? Come ON!) was just weird and unpleasant.

    J.... ....

    Jenifer L. thank goodness that didn't happen...it would have been disastrous!

  37. t.... m....

    For Jason.

  38. d.... d....

    TO THE 12 MOTHERFUCKING MORONS WHO DISLIKED THIS TRACK-YOU ARE IN NEED OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP.  SERIOUSLY, Y'ALL NEED TO GO TO VIENNA.    ASSEMBLE A TEAM.  ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE CLEARED YOU, SHOULD YOU BE ALLOWED BACK ON YOUTUBE

    d.... d....

    Responding 2 years later: Damn, some one needs to know what opinions are. Its an okay song, but I think many people disliked it because the lyrics were stolen, that's all. Pretty funny shit your writing here though.

    d.... d....

    You could say that I guess

    d.... d....

    How many songs have you written ? You probably can't write your own name.

    d.... d....

    48 MORONS NOW

  39. C.... ....

    I love Edgar Allan Poe, and of course the beautiful Stevie

  40. A.... O....

    Love Stevie Nicks...

  41. L.... D....

    I love this beautiful poem and how Stevie put music to it.

  42. o.... ....

    a song with lyrics of edgard allan poe...brillant
    so romantic

  43. M.... B....

    Awesome! Two of my favorites, Edgar Allan Poe and Stevie Nicks.

    M.... B....

    Congratulatons! Someone who nows "Annabel Lee" ' s lyrics belong to Edgar Allan Poe!

    M.... B....

    @Guillermo Lopetegui
    Thanks! It's called being educated! :-)

    M.... B....

    +Guillermo Lopetegui You should see the comments on the trailer for the film "Stonehearst Asylum." It very clearly says "from the mind of Edgar Allan Poe" yet 80 percent of the people who comment are all like "Shutter Island 2?"

    M.... B....

    I love Shutter Island...Edgar would approve, but why do people get on these threads to fight?

    M.... B....

    mine too...!

  44. M.... M....

    Beautiful pictures of Stevie!  This is my favorite poem...and she didn't change the lyrics, which makes me love her even more!

  45. j.... c....

    Love the song!!! and lyrics,very sincere...

  46. b.... w....

    BEST VOICE EVAHH
