  1. I saw Venice turn blue

    I saw Venice turn blue

  2. Before my very eyes

    Before my very eyes

  3. I saw Venice turn blue

    I saw Venice turn blue

  4. The moment that love died

    The moment that love died

  5. I walked by the canals

    I walked by the canals

  6. Or through some little square

    Or through some little square

  7. And echoes of her words

    And echoes of her words

  8. Pursue me everywhere

    Pursue me everywhere

  9. Now my Venice is blue

    Now my Venice is blue

  10. As the mandolins play

    As the mandolins play

  11. The song she used to sing before love slipped away

    The song she used to sing before love slipped away

  12. With the lovers hand in hand

    With the lovers hand in hand

  13. The gondolas go by

    The gondolas go by

  14. I wish that I could weep but all my tears are dry

    I wish that I could weep but all my tears are dry

  15. I see Venice all blue

    I see Venice all blue

  16. Before my misty eyes

    Before my misty eyes

  17. I see Venice all blue

    I see Venice all blue

  18. Because our love has died

    Because our love has died

  19. My aimless footsteps stop

    My aimless footsteps stop

  20. Before an old café

    Before an old café

  21. Or by some little shop

    Or by some little shop

  22. Where she would often stray

    Where she would often stray

  23. I see Venice all blue

    I see Venice all blue

  24. Beneath the rising moon

    Beneath the rising moon

  25. And still I look for her

    And still I look for her

  26. Beside the wide lagoon

    Beside the wide lagoon

  27. And then I try to smile

    And then I try to smile

  28. And hope I can forget

    And hope I can forget

  29. The laughter that we shared, the shining day we met

    The laughter that we shared, the shining day we met

  30. Two pigeons in the square

    Two pigeons in the square

  31. I now say my goodbyes

    I now say my goodbyes

  32. Goodbye my vanished dream

    Goodbye my vanished dream

  33. Goodbye oh Bridge of Sighs

    Goodbye oh Bridge of Sighs

  34. I've seen Venice turn blue

    I've seen Venice turn blue

  35. And too lonely to bear

    And too lonely to bear

  36. I've seen Venice turn blue

    I've seen Venice turn blue

  37. For she-

    For she-

  38. Forgot to care

    Forgot to care

Venice Blue

I saw Venice turn blue

I saw Venice turn blue

Before my very eyes

Before my very eyes

I saw Venice turn blue

I saw Venice turn blue

The moment that love died

The moment that love died

I walked by the canals

I walked by the canals

Or through some little square

Or through some little square

And echoes of her words

And echoes of her words

Pursue me everywhere

Pursue me everywhere

Now my Venice is blue

Now my Venice is blue

As the mandolins play

As the mandolins play

The song she used to sing before love slipped away

The song she used to sing before love slipped away

With the lovers hand in hand

With the lovers hand in hand

The gondolas go by

The gondolas go by

I wish that I could weep but all my tears are dry

I wish that I could weep but all my tears are dry

I see Venice all blue

I see Venice all blue

Before my misty eyes

Before my misty eyes

I see Venice all blue

I see Venice all blue

Because our love has died

Because our love has died

My aimless footsteps stop

My aimless footsteps stop

Before an old café

Before an old café

Or by some little shop

Or by some little shop

Where she would often stray

Where she would often stray

I see Venice all blue

I see Venice all blue

Beneath the rising moon

Beneath the rising moon

And still I look for her

And still I look for her

Beside the wide lagoon

Beside the wide lagoon

And then I try to smile

And then I try to smile

And hope I can forget

And hope I can forget

The laughter that we shared, the shining day we met

The laughter that we shared, the shining day we met

Two pigeons in the square

Two pigeons in the square

I now say my goodbyes

I now say my goodbyes

Goodbye my vanished dream

Goodbye my vanished dream

Goodbye oh Bridge of Sighs

Goodbye oh Bridge of Sighs

I've seen Venice turn blue

I've seen Venice turn blue

And too lonely to bear

And too lonely to bear

I've seen Venice turn blue

I've seen Venice turn blue

For she-

For she-

Forgot to care
