Charles Aznavour "How Sad Venice Can Be" |
How sad Venice can be When you return alone To find a memory In every paving stone I walk among the birds That fill San Marco's Square With echoes of her words Around me in the air How sad Venice can be When the mandolins play A song she sung 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 pidgeons fill the skies I find the little street And then the old caf� 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 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 bear When you have lost the love That you discovered there.
