How Sad Venice Can Be lyrics

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
