Lyrics
I saw Venice turn blue before my very eyes,
I saw Venice turn blue the moment that love died.
I walk by the canals or through some little square
And echoes of her words pursue me ev’rywhere.
Now my Venice is blue as the mandolins play
The song she used to sing before love slipped away.
With lovers hand in hand the gondolas go by,
I wish that I could weep but my all my tears are dry.

I see Venice all blue before my misty eyes,
I see Venice all blue because our love has died.
My aimless footsteps stop before an old café
Or by some little shop where she would often stray.
I see Venice all blue beneath the rising moon,
And still I look for her beside the wide lagoon.
And then I try to smile and hope I can forget
The laughter that we shared the shining day we met.
To pigeons in the Square I now say my goodbyes,
Goodbye, my vanished dream, goodbye old Bridge of Sighs.
I’ve seen Venice turn blue and too lonely to bear,
I’ve seen Venice turn blue for she forgot to care.
