When you return alone
And find a memory
In a repaving stone
I woke among the bird
That fills in Marble Square
With a quote of her words
Around me in the air
How sad Venice can be
When the melodies play
A song she sung for me
One unforgotten day
Like a magic sea
The gondoliers go by
But when I try to weep
I find my tears are dry
How sad Venice can be
When mist is in your eyes
And you can hardly see
As visions fill the skies
I find the little street
And then the old cafe
Where we would always meet
To dream away the day
How sad Venice can be
Beneath the sun's moon
That rises from the sea
And singles the moon
I hear the vespers chime
And cross the bridge of sun
I know that it is time
To bid my last goodbye
There's nothing more to say
I pass beneath the light
And then I turn away
From Venice in the night
How sad Venice can be
It's too lonely to bare
When you have lost the love
That you discovered there
How sad Venice can be When you return alone And find a memory In a repaving stone I woke among the bird That fills in Marble Square With a quote of her words Around me in the air How sad Venice can be When the melodies play A song she sung for me One unforgotten day Like a magic sea The gondoliers go by But when I try to weep I find my tears are dry How sad Venice can be When mist is in your eyes And you can hardly see As visions fill the skies I find the little street And then the old cafe Where we would always meet To dream away the day How sad Venice can be Beneath the sun's moon That rises from the sea And singles the moon I hear the vespers chime And cross the bridge of sun I know that it is time To bid my last goodbye There's nothing more to say I pass beneath the light And then I turn away From Venice in the night How sad Venice can be It's too lonely to bare When you have lost the love That you discovered there Explain Request ×
