Lyrics
How sad Venice can be
When you return alone
To find a memory
In ev’ry paving stone.
I walk among the birds
That fill San Marco square,
With echoes of her words
Around me in the air.
How sad Venice can be
When the mandolins play
A song she sang for me
One unforgotten day.
Like images of sleep,
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 pigeons fill the skies.
I find the little street
And then the old café
Where we would always meet
To dream away the day.
How sad Venice can be
Beneath the silent moon
That rises from the sea
And silvers the lagoon.
I hear the vespers chime
And cross the Bridge of Sighs;
I know that it is time
To bid my last goodbyes.
