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
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
